It's an ICOM thing, Barry. There is no bit in the ICOM protocol that tells the software (DX4WIN) that the radio is in split. You'll have to enter the QSX frequency manually. Some software has solved this problem by using a "soft" bit internally. As long as ONLY the software sets or clears the radio split function, it can keep track of whether to spot a QSX frequency or not. But if you touch the split button on the front of the radio, then it will be out-of-sync with the software. 73 - Jim AD1C -- Jim Reisert AD1C/0, <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, http://www.ad1c.us From [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sat Sep 8 19:10:55 2007 From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Kostas SV1DPI) Date: Sat Sep 8 19:13:08 2007 Subject: [Dx4win] DX4WIN 7.03 is running on Windows Vista References: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> I tested dx4win in Vista in a portable computer no problem with the installation and as Jim suggested, dx4win only runs with right click and run as administrator. I put a usb to serial cable and i checked my homemade interface and i had no problem with cw keying also.... The only problem i had for over an hour was to install the usb to serial cable. The driver i used to xp wasn't ok and after many tries, the solution was to find a driver in web for another brand but compatible with vista. I tried this and it worked. The address is http://www.ftdichip.com/Drivers/VCP.htm Now i have problem with internet connection. I connect to internet with no problem with the browser but when i do a right click in packet window and choose my favorite node... no connection. I am sure that i 'll find the solution but... any ideas until then?
