DX4WIN has to have exclusive access to COM ports. So I think the answer to your question is No. I can use both DX4WIN and WriteLog with radio control (simultaneously) using my microHAM interface. (other similar products probably have this feature). The microHAM router software can create two virtual COM ports that talk to the same device (ICOM radio). Each program connects to a different virtual COM port (in my case, DX4WIN on COM3, WriteLog on COM4), so each thinks it has exclusive access to the port. If you "spin the dial", the frequency is updated in both programs. In the distant past (pre-microHAM), I remember using some kind of software driver (think: TSR [am I dating myself?]) which could split a single physical COM port into two virtual COM ports. I don't remember much about it, unfortunately. You might be able to Google it. I think at the time there were two, one required registration, one did not. -- Jim Reisert AD1C, <[email protected]>, http://www.ad1c.us ______________________________________________________________ DX4WIN mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/dx4win Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
