[BVARC] ft8 fox and hound and question about cat cable

I never have been able to get my cat cable to work between my hf rig and the computer (and to Gus I tried all your steps and it's still not working, sorry). Without this I am unable to work the dxpeditions on fox and hound mode. I bought the cable off Ebay so it's probably junk since it did not

Your usb to serial probably has a counterfeit prolific chip in it. Prolific drivers will not work on counterfeit chips Try an usb to serial with a different chip brand in it. On Sat, Dec 21, 2019 at 10:23 AM Martin Blaise via BVARC wrote: > I am having trouble getting my cat cable to work

[BVARC] FT8 dxpedition mode - com port and cable not working

I am having trouble getting my cat cable to work between the HF rig and the computer. It says I have to have it if I want to work dxpeditions on FT8 since the software controls the frequencies. I cannot get the com port function to work properly. I have two usb ports on the front on the computer.
