What kind of sentence are you expecting the radio to send? Usually it
works the other way around with the radio receiving positional
sentences from the VHF.

To answer your question, you can read the data on your PC using the
hyperterminal utility under Programs Accessories Communications.
You will need a serial cable and working COM port.

Settings are usually 4800 baud, 8 data bits, no parity.

I'll be danged - I didn't think of that.

Learn something old every day. :)

Will it read display the sentence as transmitted?

Yup, hyperterm just displays as what arrives. You can save the data also.

You know, how people parse sentences is a fascinating subject.

I didn't even notice that.

Yeah Mike, I know - hard to believe I'm not perfect.

Yep, sometimes the brain sees what it wants to see, not what is
actually there.

If I'm writing something really important, I'll try to sit on the
draft overnight and then read it again the next day before sending.

Reading it out loud is a great way to find mistakes.

DSC call info (for instance, the result of a position request)

Nice -- know where I can find the pin out for the serial cable?
