Thanks to everyone who replied...the issue is resolved. My problem was with the cable interface to the PC. I was using a serial to usb converter inline with the Icom OPC-1529R Data cable.
Everything appeared to be working but the data packet was garbled. I could decode from other D-Rats stations via RF but the 2820 data couldn't be read.
Eliminating the converter and running straight to a DB 9 serial port and everything works as advertised.
Hope this helps someone else in the future. I was using a Prolific USB to Serial converter. Interestingly it does work with the ICOM CS-2820 Software for programming etc...
