If you've NEVER been able to communicate with the radio, it probably means that one or more of the parameters that you specified for the radio is incorrect. Since you didn't mention which radio you're talking about, no one can give any specific advice. It could also mean that the serial port or cable are defective, the cable is unplugged, etc. Any single thing that is incorrect or defective will result in the timeout message. If the radio times out occasionally, but usually works, then that's a completely different set of possibilities.

You'll also get this message if another program has grabbed the serial port that you're using to communicate with the radio and won't release it. For example, once I've run Nova (a satellite tracking program) and W6IHG Radio Tuner (which runs the TS-2000's VFO while tracking a satellite's doppler corrections) and exited out of WRT, I have to restart the computer to release the serial port so that DX4Win can talk with the TS2000. Otherwise, when I try to perform a function that sets or reads the frequency in DX4Win, the program (DX4Win) hangs up for about 30 seconds and then reports that the radio has timed out. 73 Wayne N5WD ---------------------------------------------------------------------- R.

I have MMTTY set up and running fine. When I select the RTTY window in DX4Win, I can receive RTTY just fine. When I try to transmit, I get the followning error: An exception occured! ie_Open - device already open I have suspected it's a Com port problem, so have changed the Preferences so that only one Com port is accessed. I have four available Com ports and MMTTY is using Com4. Rig control is Com1, packet cluster tnc is Com2. Com3 is currently unused. Can someone on the reflector give me some guidance? I would really like to keep using DX4Win for all modes. I'm currently switching between MMTTY and manually entering all contacts in DX4Win.

See if that works for you... 73, Wayne WA1PMA At 01:05 PM 3/6/2006, you wrote: >Thanks to all who replied to my original email.
