I have an Arduino with a temperature module and an APC220 rf module attached. I have another APC220 connected to my PC through a USB/serial converter on Com 7. If I point the serial monitor to Com 7, I see the temperature displayed continuously. I have tried three terminal emulators (Putty, Indigo, and Realterm), pointed them to Com 7 and see no data. I know they are looking at Com 7 because if I point the Arduino IDE terminal to 7 then try to use the others I get the message "Com 7 in use". What I am trying to do is monitor the  signal to make sure it is still working, while programming another Arduino with an APC220 and a LCD, which I have so far not been able to  display the data on. What is different about the IDE's terminal? I am using 9600 baud, no parity everywhere.
