Do you have GPS turned on? If so, I think you'll want all of that
disabled. Ideally, disable the GPS stuff and tune both sides to FM
channels before trying.

Alternately, use an OPC-478 style cable and eliminate all the above
potential for conflict. They're cheap on eBay :)

Doubtful. Most USB-to-serial adapters don't generate proper RS232
anyway, and many are only really getting +/-5V on those lines. I've
never had one that the 2820 seemed to balk at. That said, who knows.
