Hi Todd, I did this with a USB to four way serial port adaptor. As soon as the adaptor was plugged into the USB port good old Windows XP detected it and installed the necessary drivers. It then created COM Ports 3, 4, 5 & 6 for me.
I guess that when your mate plugs the adaptor in to the USB port, windows will do the same for him and he will then be able to see the COM port number via control panel/system properties/device manager! Hope that works........ 73's de Tony G8DQZ -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Todd Sent: 22 December 2005 15:25 To: DX4Windows Subject: [Dx4win] Radio via USB port? Hi group, A friend of mine has a laptop, CT-17, & 756 Pro with a serial to USB cable converter (and DX4Windows of course). Does anyone know how to setup the radio interface with a USB port, or determine what port you are on? Is this even possible? He doesn't have a serial port available on the laptop, hence the USB cable. I use a serial port so I've not run into this before so I thought I'd poll the experience of the group. Thanks!
