"SkySafari 7 Pro cant make a wireless connection to the scope"

I had been using SkySafari Plus, which could (and still can) make a wireless connection to scope, however it was NEVER able to communicate with the GTOCP3 controller (well documented in this forum).  So, I upgraded to the SkySafari 7 Pro.  Now, I can make no connection whatsoever.  Same result with the exact same setup information as in SkySafari Plus..."SkySafari 7 Pro can't make a wireless connection to the scope"  Other features aside, it looks like this is a downgrade for me.

  Privacy settings do in fact allow wireless communication with the mount.  Unfortunately, the exact same results as with SkySafari Plus.  First few serial commands are received and interpreted by SkySafari, but after that ...nothing.  Please see my earlier posts from a year or so ago with this "not-yet-resolved" problem.  (Is SkySafari Always Failing When Sending These Two Astrophysics Commands?)

  Thanks

  Thank you for the report.  I've asked a dev to take a look.
