You're writing a byte stream to the serial port; endianess is not an
issue here.

The code you sent shows a baudrate setting of 38400. I don't know of any
other radios in that class that use such a high rate. Can I assume that
it's just a result of you trying things? Your trace from the OEM
software should clearly indicate what rate to use, and I'd expect that
it should be 9600.

Are you seeing your own echo? Are you doing a binary upload or something
in order to get the \x02 and timing correct?

Perhaps you could go back to the rate you learned from the OEM software
and then run what you sent us against the radio and send us the console
output?

That's just a toggling of the port lines, probably DTR.
