If you go into the Windows Device Manager, and click on the '+' sign next to "Ports (COM & LPT)" you will see the port assignments. You may be able to right-click on one of your virtual ports (like COM7) and assign it to a different number. But if the radio works OK on COM7, why not leave it that way? Remember, you can only have ONE port assigned to a given number. I don't have any advice to determine what application is trying to access COM3 besides DX4WIN. Go through all the DX4WIN preference tabs, and make sure that all devices are using a unique COM port #. If you had created virtual COM ports because you are using a USB-to-serial cable (or a RigBlaster, microHAM, etc. device), try deleting all the virtual COM ports, then reboot, then create only the ones you need. -- 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
