Hi Ray, I also remember that there was an .INI file associated with
vCOM. You can edit it to change anything that would be done by the
configurator. I think that in ancient times (circa: 2005) we had to edit
the com pairs in the .ini file before the configurator was born :-)
Perhaps the Vista
I am running vcom, vac, and vista business and it seems to play well. I
only used two port combinations in vcom - 4/5 3/14 - which were not
defaults and it is working without issue...so far. I have not had any
problems with the configurator. Looking at the n8vbvcom.inf file it
appears to
What is the differance between VAC vCOM ?
What versions are the best for the Flex-5000A on Vista ?
Can you run both together ?

vCOM is a virtual Com port, like your RS-232
port. You can use it to have PowerSDR communicate
with another application, like Ham Radio Deluxe,
without adding hardware Com ports and making
jumper cables to go between the Com ports; each
application wants its own, dedicated Com port.

Tim,
My experience with vCom under Vista is that vCom itself works well.
However, the configurator does not work properly. As long as you leave the
virtual COM port pairs at their default port numbers and do not try to
change them, all is well.

Alan,
You know how to do this? I have Ubuntu on this machine, but it is
either boot UBuntu or WinXP. If you can't run some version of
Windows with Linux, there goes your applications software. I hate MS
as much as anyone, but OS2, OSX, Linux, and whatever they are running
on the new Macs,

I am currently using DXLab. If I want to use WSJT (or any other program) do I
need a Com port for it and another for HRD?
If I am using WSJT does it use the same CAT port as Winwarbler or do I have to
switch to another one for each app?
Do all programs use the same VAC lines or do I need a
All,
The use of another os is always going to have some +s and -s. Linux
is a good choice and probably the only one, but you are forcing us
into a two computer configuration, one for the SDR and one for other
applications. Might as well get an embedded system and not worry about it.
