I am using dos box to run some old Motorola radio software and it runs fine but when I go to read the radio I get one of 2 errors

1) Checksum error (Serial1: Errors occured: Framing 0, Parity 0, Overrun 29 (IF0:23), Break 0

2) TX data collision with the same error in dosbox

Any ideas?

Here is my disconfig

serial1=directserial realport:com1 ocbus

Only one of my test builds has that ocbus modification, official releases don't.
I dropped it because I got no positive feedback.

So unless you found exactly that build the ocbus in the config is useless.

Maybe try to increase the cycles value.
