Very strange Al. I also use XP. Com 2 is for the MP com 1 is cw/rtty/ptt SIIG card on Com 5 does rotor.
All work properly so I'm suspecting... Some sort of com port properties such as the 2 stop bits for Yaesu rigs. (Haven't had a Kenwood in a while so can't remember it's port properties) Or a IRQ or I/O address conflict??? The funny part is XP handles resources and configurations so much better than 98 did.
