[Alexandria Radio Club Reflector] Winlink Express

[Ryan Stinebiser]

Rich,

I experienced a similar issue not that long ago. I had to reinstall the USB
drivers for the COM ports that connect my laptop to my radio. A Windows 10
update removed the unlicensed driver software that I had installed.
Apparently, Windows thinks unlicensed ham software is a security risk. Try
checking in the "Device Manager" under "Ports (COM & LPT)" to verify the
drivers and COM ports are as you remember them.
