Alex, Thanks for the reply.
By golly, you are right about the program not being there. I never made it that far, since I was trying to use just the direct connection to the hardware first. Well, shucks--we need to get Gpredict working on Windows hardware :) I'll dig deeper on the high com port part before I give up... 73, Mark N8MH On Fri, Mar 18, 2011 at 12:13 PM, Alexandru Csete <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi Mark, > > I have not used hamlib in a long time since I now have others to test > rig interfaces in gpredict.
