[1000mp] FT1000mp serial port communication

[Neal]

I recently installed logger32 also but use serial port on the mother board. 
I found some issues with this also. The first issue is their radio 
configuration file for the ft1000mp was incorrrect. The default parameters 
were incorrect. Once I discovered this it connected. However I have noticed 
that if you close the logging window and then bring it back up the 
connection is no longer there. I had to  close the port on the radio 
dropdown and reopen it to re-establish the connection.

Hello All
I have a problem with my 1000mp and Logger32 (version 2.7) communicating 
since I got a new home brew computer. The new computer motherboard did not 
have a built in serial port I added a PCI serial port card and installed all 
proper drivers and such. This is only use of serial port and it works at 
times with radio. However if radio and logger have not been on for several 
days then when I try to use them together they do not talk to each other. 
Logger32 is very erratic at this time like a low memory condition with slow 
responce to any input mouse or keyboard.
First time this happened I tried restarting computer, resetting everything, 
nothing I did made any difference. Checking the serial port at control panel 
shows it to be functioning normally. I finally got old computer out and it 
worked right off. Hooking back to new machine everything worked fine. Worked 
fine for a week then after not using either for few days back to same 
condition. I hooked up a laptop to radio worked right off moved serial 
connector back to new computer it worked right off.
Its like something is happening between computer and radio that is 
interferring with operation when I try to use it yet hooking up another 
computer it works?. It makes no sense to me?. Any of you computer gurus have 
any thoughts on this. I have also post this on the Logger Yahoo group maybe 
somewhere someone has a answer.
Thank you
