I took another shot at interrogating the radio for its settings and got something back this time.
*Edit:
I was using ascii this whole time then in the documentation it explicitly says its hex.
I used RealTerm set up the Baud rate to 9600
I sent the interrogation/read command (0xFF 0x4C 0xCF 0x52 0xA1 0x52 0xF0) and got this:

It is curious even though I set the baud rate to 9600bps the radio claims to be talking back at 57600bps.
No, I dont get anything back when I change the baud rate to 57600.
Maybe this is a change in the firmware that did not get documented in the Design Guide.
Thats it for today.
