I am experiencing difficulty geting DXBase running with my transceiver and keying cw. After trading e-mails with Jack, he suggested I post a message on the reflector and see if anyone can help. Here is my configuration:
Radio: Icom 775DSP with CT-17 level convertor. Radio address is set to 46H and baud rate is set to 1200 Baud. A cable with a DB9 connection interfaces with computer and a DB25 connector for the CT-17 end. Computer: Compaq Deskpro running Win98 Ver2. Four COM Ports. COM1 and COM2 share IRQ 11. COM4 uses IRQ 3 and COM3 uses IRQ 4. No conflicts are apparent in Device Manager. I ran a diagnostic software program which does an internal loopback check and all COM Ports passed. I have attempted to connect to Radio using each of the four com ports. I have configured each port to 1200 baud, 8 data bits, and 1 stop bit. DXBase user options have selected Icom 775 and have rotated through all COM Ports using default values of one stop bit, 8 bit word length. If I am overlooking something, I would appreciate any input. Thanks and Happy New Year Jim K7EG
