FWIW, I did find I can use a virtual port with it # "10" If I assign any other numerical value it will not work. Won't work with Win 7, I tried for hours but with this computer & Win 10, WSJT-X works on virtual port 10. All the other software works on whatever virtual port I tell it to work on.

Without getting into the middle of this, I would make one suggestion. Download WSJT-10 and see if your problems go away. WSJT-X is Joe Taylor's (with other developers) attempt to make WSJT usable for all bands and uses; it is fairly new and being revised to solve issues, so if you are a user

Not necessarily true. If, for example, equipment in the shack is not properly bonded together, an antenna close to the shack will put a lot of RF in the shack, which will induce RF onto cables connected to equipment, and is likely to couple into equipment. If an antenna is working as an
