[Flexradio] Beginner's Question on Vcom
Hi, I am doing the initial configuration on my SDR-1000/100 and ran into a problem getting the N8VB vCom driver to work per the SDR1000 manual. I am using a Firebox sound card. Computer is 2.16 Mhz Athlon with 448 MB RAM Only 1 hardware COM port is installed and is working. There are three USB ports installed and working, none with a USB to serial oirt converter. However, I previously had a USB to serial port driver installed, but nothing shows up in the Device manager; the only serial port that shows in the device manager is COM 1. I installed the vCom driver per page 128 of the SDR manual. The Device Manager says it is working ok. I downloaded and installed the latest version of HRD and tried to connect using the procedure in the manual. When I start HRD, I do not get the same connect screen as shown in the SDR-1000 manual on page 133. It does not have FlexRadio SDR-1000 listed. So I selected TS-2000, the same as on the SDR1000 setup screen, and get the message: Kenwood TS-2000 Com4, 57600, access denied. I tried every other combination of setting up I could think of, ie, setting up HRD first, using another COM port, etc. and no joy. How do I check/change the COM ports that vCOM is using? Tnx for your support.
Re: [Flexradio] Beginner's Question on Vcom
Charles, It is a little hard to see virtual comports. You just gotta have faith :-) A few questions to get things started. 1.) Did you make any change to the Vcom INI file? If yes, answer questions 2 3 2.) How many vcom port pairs did you define? 3.) What Vcom port pair(s) did you configure (ex. Com5/com6, com10/com11, etc...) BTW, here is a great how to for Vcom and setting it up with other applications. http://www.hamsdr.com/dnld.aspx Look for Third Party Installation.pdf -Tim --- Tim Ellison ( [EMAIL PROTECTED] ) Integrated Technical Services ( http://www.itsco.com ) -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Charles Greene Sent: Tuesday, December 20, 2005 8:22 AM To: FlexRadio@flex-radio.biz Subject: [Flexradio] Beginner's Question on Vcom Hi, I am doing the initial configuration on my SDR-1000/100 and ran into a problem getting the N8VB vCom driver to work per the SDR1000 manual.

Re: [Flexradio] Beginner's Question on Vcom
Hello Charles PowerSDR and HRD workvery well together. HRD has a special console for the SDR1000 for some time now. Anyway, the latest version is http://www.hb9drv.ch/tmp/old/HamRadioDeluxeVersion033b962.exe The ports installed by Phil's Vcom driver do not appear in the Ports list in Peripheral manager. This is normal. On the PowerSDR console, click Setup Click the Cat Control tab Uncheck Enable Cat (if it is cheched). Choose one of the Com Ports installed by Phil's Vcom driver. They are installed by pairs. (Here I use N 5) Set Baud 57000, Parity None, Data 8, Stop 1 Check Enable Cat On the right of the same window, there is a comboBox labeled Id as. Choose SDR-1000. Click Apply Now Open HRD. After the slpash screen, you will get the Connect window. Click the button labeled New connection. The combobox labeled Company offers various choices ; one is FlexRadio. Set the port to the other member of the port pair (here I use N 4) and the speed to 115000 (As a matter of fact, it does not matter). Click Connect. It would work. 73 Jos Charles Greene a crit: Hi, I am doing the initial configuration on my SDR-1000/100 and ran into a problem getting the N8VB vCom driver to work per the SDR1000 manual.
