I have a working PSK31 setup with my K2 using a homebrew serial to K2 mic cable. That is, it works FB with my desktop computer that has an actual serial (DB9) port. I'm trying to now use an XP netbook, which has no serial port. Instead I'm using a USB to serial converter (Sabrent brand). The driver seems to have installed correctly, but not combination of settings of the device or Digipan results in PTT being activated.
Anyone know how I can debug the device to see if it's setting RTS? Perhaps the signal level is too low? I don't know for sure, but I think this converter uses a Prolific chip and I have read that for CAT people have better luck with an FTDI based converter. What is the difference between the chips that makes FTDI better? 73, Casey ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
