I am sure that the com port is a software generated port, either from microham or a usb to serial port. I get the same message occasionally. It happens during computer's stratup procedure. I believe that the computer still has not created the com port. Probably n1mm doesn't check if the com port exists or not. Same with writelog. I am not sure that is really useful this checking. If my com port is not there i will not have ptt. What's the problem and dx4win must check it. Maybe i want just to check my dxcc, an award, etc. Maybe it woud be better to check for com port only if i ask for it. Or better dx4win appears a warning message when i ask for a com port thet doesn;t exist. Especially for the cat control: ilke the way writelog works on this. If cat control exists then i have a freq reading, if not nothing happens (no freq). Instead of this dx4win tries for 5-6 times by default (i have changed mine to 1) to find the radio!!! I think there is no need for al these. 73 Kostas sv1dpi
