Hi Bob, I am running DXbase 2007 on Windows 7/64 controlling a Yaesu G-2800DXA with an Idiom Press interface that uses the DCU1 format.
My used to serial adapter is a Digi Edgeport 8 that I got on ebay for cheap. When I installed the Digi Edgport Windows 7 Went and fetched the proper driver from the internet and it installed FB. Had no trouble getting Dxbase to control the rotor. I'm using the same settings as W2IRT on COM 6. You don't mention if your Win7 is 32 or 64 bit. The USB/serial adapters written for 32 op system will not function with Win 7 64 bit so that could be the trouble. Also you don't mention if you have used this USB to serial adapter with this PC/ DXbase to control anything else with success. If you haven't tried that it may help you isolate your source of trouble. I am having some monir trouble with Win & and DXbase with some parameters that normally get saved to the ini file that I either can't change or if I change them the aren't saved when I exit and restart DxBase. Running DxBase as Administrator doesn't solve them problem. I'm really looking forward to the new version hoping it will be fully compliant. Neal has promised a fully compliant progrma so I'm willing to wait as I'm sure it's a lot of hard work. Let us know how you progress.
