I have had much the same response using guide7 and my SkyPilot (Mountain
Instruments version of the Tangent Instruments unit) DSC, although it works
fine with ECU. Sometimes the scope pad will come up if I proceed despite the
"63 (?)" reply, but it is obviously not reading correctly from the dsc.

I have been trolling for help on this one for quite a while with no luck...

Hoping for suggestions too,
