[Dx4win] USB to Serial

Sat, 9 Aug 2003 19:15:10 +0200

Hello Tom,

Did you ever tried to use two different functions on the same port?
Have a USB to serial to control the FT1000mp, it works fine.
Tried to PTT via the same port, but no avail. ( Probably missing some
dedicated software to interface.both functions ) Using a USB to // for PTT
and thats OK too.
