I downloaded and installed a new copy from the Leapsecond site. Found the COM port for the Serial to USB Adapter (COM 5) and voila ... it works.
I bought two Trimble T-Bolts from an auction site for short money ($80 ea) and wanted to check them out. The last time I got some T-Bolts was a while ago when they were being parted out of Telcom gear. That source dried up long ago and the prices today are right up there. These were the cheapest I have seen in a long time and they are the Trimble commercial version, not surplus Tel-Com.

Grab a new copy if you suspect something wrong on your end. The usual reason that you get a com port error is that the port doesn't exist, or that it's beyond com16. Does this old computer have native com ports or are you using a serial/USB adapter? Look in the device manager (devmgmt.msc) to find the actual port number. If you have a valid port number but you don't trust the serial adapter, jumper pins 2 and 3 and then use hyper terminal (hypertrm.exe) to see if the loopback works. /tvb ----- Original Message ----- From: "Richard Solomon" <[email protected]> To: "time-nuts" <[email protected]> Sent: Thursday, November 15, 2018 7:22 AM Subject: [time-nuts] TBOLTMON Error Message > I downloaded a copy of TBOLTMON and installed it.
