Dick (W1KSZ), I had a similar problem loading the radio frequency when I first migrated to Windows 7.
It turns out that I needed to configure the port, close the program, and then re-launch it. Once I re-opened the program it started working. Also, check your configuration. I had to set RTS = High. Good luck, Fred WX1S -----Original Message----- From: Dxbase [mailto:dxbase-boun...@mailman.qth.net] On Behalf Of dxbase-requ...@mailman.qth.net Sent: Wednesday, October 22, 2014 2:38 PM To: dxbase@mailman.qth.net Subject: Dxbase Digest, Vol 126, Issue 4 Send Dxbase mailing list submissions to dxbase@mailman.qth.net To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/dxbase or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to dxbase-requ...@mailman.qth.net You can reach the person managing the list at dxbase-ow...@mailman.qth.net When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific than "Re: Contents of Dxbase digest..."

I have just removed the old XP PC from the shack and now I have a Windows 7 machine, so where can I find the download from Neals site please including all the updates? Also can I use the old registry licence file (XP) on windows Win 7?

My windows is validated OK I cannot get my Rig to load frequency in the log column, although I can get the CW to work from the keyboard. I downloaded the latest radio file off the dxbase group file list. Is there another file update? Im running a Yaesu FTDX5000MP and also can you give me the setup for RTS CTS etc. ------------------------------ Message: 3 Date: Mon, 20 Oct 2014 12:22:05 -0700 From: Richard Solomon <dickw1...@gmail.com> To: "dxbase@mailman.qth.net" <dxbase@mailman.qth.net> Subject: [Dxbase] DXBase 2007 and Windows 8 Message-ID: <cac5fbo-+42kttmt6ffucyv2jz6zj774khmhteej0qgprydp...@mail.gmail.com> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 I bought a new computer and have the choice of Windows 7 (32 or 64 bit) or Windows 8.

My son has a Microsoft Surface Pro and he says that Windows 8 is very nice with the touch screen, but definitely would not like it on a typical mouse-driven desktop. He isn't the only one: I have heard little good said about it for regular, mouse oriented users, though I have heard that Windows 8.1 is better. In appearance the user interface for Windows 7 is much more like Windows XP (and can be made to look almost exactly like XP), which is replaces. The difference between 32 and 64 bit operating systems lies primarily in the amount of addressable RAM. 32 bits can address only up to about 3 GB (with appropriate extensions). A 64 bit operating system can address far more memory than you can stuff into any PC. The 64 bit operating systems will run 32 bit programs without any problem, but 32 bit programs can themselves only address 2 GB of RAM (~3 GB with appropriate extensions). 64 bit systems are intrinsically no faster than 32 bit systems. For numerical work, 64 bits can carry more significant digits than can 32 bits.
