Hi:

In my quest for wirelessly connecting my Empeg to my PC, I have sourced all the parts and have one remaining question that seems to elude me:

How can I detect when the Empeg is in standby mode so that I can power a wireless bridge?

Any type of signal is fine, I was hoping I could use a RTS/CTS?CD pin on the serial port, but I found out that the port doesn't have those pins. I can't use the amp off/on wire because it is off when the unit is in standby.

I think I have to open the unit and tap off of a pin somewhere, but would like to avoid that if possible.

Once I figure this out (hopefully with help from this board), I'll have a wireless connection that doesn't drain my battery and doesn't require user intervention so that my daily radio shows automatically get downloaded to my empeg.

Many many thanks!
