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!

On the Hardware tab select Device Manager. Scroll down to Ports and expand by left clicking on the + sign. Right click on the new COM port and select Properties. On the Settings tab there should be a box which indicates the current COM port, and will allow you to set a different port, if desired. You may have to click on Advanced to see this box. Make whatever changes are necessary and use OK for each box to save the changes. John, K2CIB
