LX200 Classic Set-up problem

[Richard Crowley]

I have a LX200 10 in Classic with 2.xx version software.  When Kstars programs the date into the mount it replies with two strings, one “updating planetary data” and later after the action is taken is a string of null characters.  Then the RA and DEC is read.  The software gets confused by the two responses from the mount one of which is delayed.  This causes the RA and DEC reads to be reversed.  RA is DEC value and DEC is RA value.  I am running Kstars version 3.7.4 on a MacBook Air. Intel processor, MacOS Sequoia 15.1.1.  It seems all other data transfers to the mount work correctly, and SkySafari Pro 7 works perfectly with the mount.  Any help would be appreciated.
