"Hey, thanks for commenting. What do you mean about dummy code? is that posted above? In any case, ill swap the cables and lets see what happen,"
Below is the dummy code. The arduino should just ignore any serial communication.
void setup() {
// put your setup code here, to run once:
}
void loop() {
// put your main code here, to run repeatedly:
}

If you want to experiment some, open the arduino IDE and open a new file and load that dummy code onto the arduino. This should basically take the arduino out of the picture. Then connect the arduino side of the TTL/rs232 adapter to the arduino with tx to tx, rx to rx, and ground to ground. Keep the adapter connected to the radio as previously connected. Open the serial monitor and try sending your test code (make sure the "no line ending" in the serial monitor is selected and the correct baud rate is set). See if you get a response from the radio.
It doesn't work :(. I've installed a program which uses the serial port to control the radio and a software monitoring, its contantly spamming IF; and some other commands, so the radio indeed responds with the frequency to the IF;
I even tried the port connecting the TTL conversor to the PC and works fine, i can send messages between putty and arduino's console and its just working properly.
Any other ideas?
"Any other ideas?"
have you checked the terminal program setting differences to see if they are using or not using line ending characters?

Hey, it looks like arduino always ends with a . while this program apparently does not.

What does that mean?

What i get in the monitor is IF;. when i send it from arduino, not sure if it matters or not
