Re: [Dx4win] Rotator control
I am having the same problem. It works then won’t. I’ve swapped multiple cables. Tried serial cables. Changed comports.

Re: [Dx4win] Rotator control
Since you say that com 2 no longer shows up in device manager that is the first place to look. First look for hidden devices to see if it has somehow been hidden. Are your serial ports actual serial ports or USB adapters?

Re: [Dx4win] Rotator control
Paul nothing specific should be in handshake since this is only for ARSWIN needed You can test the rotator with the program that Prosistel provided Then you know it still works. Under rotator next to reports in the main display of dx4win you need to set the parameters also Guy -Original Message- From: F6EXV Sent: Wednesday, December 11, 2019 8:53 PM To: ON4AOI Subject: Re: [Dx4win] Rotator control Hello Guy I have com 1 appaer in the device manager, but com 2 disappeared.

Re: [Dx4win] Rotator control
Paul, Check first if you get com1 and com2 working again in Windows10 Best to check with a break outbox if they are still ok. Do not known if these coms are real RS232 ports with hardware or USB to serial connectors, in the last case it is possible that you have Chinese clones. Windows software updates installs the original producent his drivers and when that driver recognize a clone they make sure it doesn't work anymore with the (new) latest driver.

[Dx4win] Rotator control
I am using a Yaesu 2800 rotor with a Sartek card. The rotor works fine but I can’t get it to interface with DX4WIN. It worked in years gone by but not now. When I check rotator parameters it shows it to be disabled. If I it set it to normal and try the rotor—it reverts to disabled. Is my card bad? __ DX4WIN mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/dx4win Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:DX4WIN@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
