The problem is that if I try to connect to one specific radio device over it's console port, I see only cryptic characters in
Minicom output:

I have tried with every baud rate under "Serial port setup". According to documentation this radio device has 19200 8N1 "no data flow control" RS232 setup by default. The pinout is correct because I see the
DE9<->USB adapter Tx and Rx LEDs blinking if a press any key on my keyboard.
Are there any other reasons/situations other than wrong speed that one can see a cryptic characters in
Minicom output?
