HiCom0com cannot be used alone. It is a bridge between two pieces of software one of which has built in virtual port facilities like Win4k3suite. It is similar to the "virtual cables" that exist in the micro ham products. There the Micro ham router manages the virtual ports also. So you cannot use it alone. 73 Tom

However, I can tell you I have had no problem using com0com which appears to be very well behaved. I will also say that I have had my problems with LP-Bridge. LP-Pan is not software. It's an IF to baseband with two outputs piece of hardware, in phase and quadrature phased streams. These run into a stereo sound card and those data are used for spectrum display, usually NaP3. LP-Bridge is software used for port sharing. I take it that you are using a KX3. That means you do not need an LP-Pan as Elecraft had the foresight to give you I&Q base band data already. You just need to obtain a good stereo sound card and go. The modes in WSJT should work fine in using VOX, but being able to read out and control the radio's frequency can be very helpful. Here's something to think about. Use a Signalink USB to connect to your KX3 for digital modes. It uses a USB connection to your computer and will key the transmitter when you tell the software to transmit. The Signalink uses an internal vox to know what to do and an acceptable sound card that will take the radio's audio and feed it to your digital software. You can plug a powered speaker into the Signalink's aux out and that will allow you to change modes without need to do anything that remove the mic and replace it with Signalink's mike cable. This allow greater ease in mode changing, and you can continuously monitor you received audio. Levels are set on the Signalink's front panel. 73, Barry K3NDM ------ Original Message ------ From: "Lynn W.
