[Dx4win] DX4Win and Kachina - possible?

[iz5fsa]

I've controlled my configuration just now: I have 2 rigs controlled (FT1000
and Kachina505DSP) and both works fine, but my kachina software is installed
in the default directory. Last chance: control if the file name in radio
databases have drive and path completed: C:\path\kc505_01.dat

good luck!

Having a little trouble getting this working.
Kachina keeps poping up error messages and DX4Win then resets the radio to
none or Icom.

Yes both are running.  I actually had DX4win and Kachina working 4-5 years
ago
but forgot.  When I went to the Radio database I saw Kachina still in there
but a different directory.

I can see \path\kachina\kc505_01.dat and it is being updated but DX4win
doesn't seem to be seeing it.

DX4win is set to
File | Databases | Radios | Kachina
and File Interface to
c:\pf\ham\Kachina\kc505_01.dat.

File | Preferences | Radio | KC505DSP
and com port is set to 1.
I don't understand why the com port is set to 1 as Kachina should do it's
interfacing with kc505_01.dat.

DX4Win is not using any com ports at the moment - until I get basic control.

I have set the Kachina control program for
Special | Station Settings | Interface to Other Logbooks | ON

Each time I try it the Kachina pops a message saying:
KC505 Com1 Cannot control radio
