[Dx4win] Com 1/ antenna rotator help

[Mike Rhodes]

Les,
  Does your backup PC have a dial-up modem card in it? If so, the modem 
may have grabbed the Com1 interrupt. Check in Device Manager to see how 
your com ports show up. You might just try leaving the rotor control 
hooked where it is and change to Com2(etc) in the program to see if Com1 
is now Com2 or whatever.
