QSO?

Re: [Dx4win] FT4JA not showing "W" in Country window?

[Duane Calvin]

Yes, FT/J, but if you're keeping your country file up to date, it should
fill that in automatically for you.  If you're ever in question, just tab to
the prefix slot and press "F1" and you'll get the list of countries.  Enter
"Juan. . . " and by the time you're that far, it is displaying the correct
prefix.  Hope this helps.

Paul,

That last comment on the "reboot" was not directed towards the program itself, 
but to software and 
computers in general.

Re: [Dx4win] Radio control with no serial port question

[tstrait]

Thanks for everyone's suggestions but I found the solution staring me in the 
face. While I was swapping out the computer I had covered up one of those 
stupid little 3" DVD'S which was the drivers for my adapter (which I found this 
morning). Will have to finish setting up tonight when I get home from work but 
should be good to go.

Todd,

You need to load the device drivers so it shows up as a com port. Then, you can 
double click it, go to the Port Settings tab, click advanced and set the com 
port you want to use.

It shows up under system devices as an unknown device (didn’t know if I had 
some device driver for the radio on the old box I’m forgetting about?) as I can 
see it come and go if I plug/unplug the USB cable but doesn’t show up as a port 
option.  Is there a device driver I need installed for the radio (Yaesu FT920) 
that I’m totally forgetting about or something like that?  I feel stupid 
because I obviously had it working on the old computer but can’t get this one 
going. Both were/are running Vista but that’s a whole other story 

Howard – not radio settings, they are all fine (baud rate, etc.) it’s a com 
port connectivity issue.

Re: [Dx4win] Radio control with no serial port question

I just went through this with a RigBlaster cable trying to get back to PSK with 
DX4WIN and Win 7. Turned out the adapter had gone band. Even with the drivers 
manually installed it didn't work. I borrowed one for a test.

Re: [Dx4win] Radio control with no serial port question

[Todd]

Know what you mean Rick. Running Windows 10 on both of our upstairs business 
boxes, just can’t see spending the $ on a Windows upgrade for a box used only 
for DX4win in the shack, but might have to do that anyway.  I had already 
looked at the cable and there is no manufacturer on it as I thought the same 
thing you did.  I thought it might be just a null modem serial to USB cable but 
now I don’t think so and I simply don’t remember anymore.  It worked with the 
other box which was also Vista so don’t know why it isn’t being recognized with 
this one other than as you said, I might have downloaded a driver with the 
other that I don’t have on this box now.  I’ll have to do some searching I 
guess and see what I can come up with.  Thanks for the help.

If the USB serial adapter is showing as an unknown device, then you'll need to 
install the device driver for that USB serial adapter. If you know who 
manufactured it, you might be able to find a driver to make it work using a web 
search. 

No, you don't need a device driver for the radio, you need one for your USB 
serial thingamabob.

The fact that you're using Windows Vista is probably why that USB adapter isn't 
automatically recognized: you're using paleolithic software.
