OK, so I am assuming that your board containing com3 and com4 is using the standard IRQ. This would mean:
1. Radio, CW, and one rotor are all trying to use same IRQ4 ( com1 and com3 share an IRQ ). 2. Rotor two is ok.. no IRQ3 conflicts. I would try putting your second rotor on Com4 instead of Com3. See if that helps any. This would result in radio and cw on Com1/IRQ4 rotor 1 on com2/IRQ3 rotor 2 on Com4/IRQ3 spare com3/IRQ4 ----- Original Message ----- From: "k6anp" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Jack" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; <[email protected]> Sent: Sunday, April 27, 2003 11:48 PM Subject: Re: [DXBase] Com Port problems > Com 1 Radio control and CW keying > > Com 2 Rotor 1.
