[Dx4win] DX4Win doesn't recognize the rig (solved)

[Joe Stepansky]

As I guessed, the problem was never with DX4Win, the problem was between my
two ears.  Here's what happened, in case it might benefit someone else.

I'm clearly in some alternate universe.  In the Rigblaster manual there are
a number of ways to configure In/Out A and In/Out B for rig control, PTT, CW
and FSK.  I circled the settings the rig control, PTT and CW on In/Out A
(goes to COM1), and FSK on In/Out B (goes to COM3).  That means I must have
selected the jumper for that setting, right?  No, that would be something a
normal person would do, actually doing what's "circled".  

For some reason, I have FSK, PTT and CW on In/Out A and rig control on
In/Out B.  None of that is circled, of course (well, IT IS NOW!!!!).

I figured it out by trying, for the umpteenth time, to Start Radio.  Then I
noticed a brief flicker of light on the Rigblaster.  It was the FSK
indicator.  So I tried to Start Radio again.  The FSK indicator flickered 6
times.  HEY, that's the number of tries I specified.  I wonder if.NO,
couldn't be.  Could it?

Plugged In/Out B into COM3, specified COM3 for rig control, and you can all
guess what happened.  

 My brothers have this word they call me, which is now apparently all too
true...DOPE!  Apologies to all for the waste of time.

For whatever reason, my newly installed DX4Win 7 won't see my rig.  I had no
problem with version 6, but I've seemingly tried everything and it won't go.
I'm running this through RigBlaster PRO.  All the connections appear to be
fine (nothing changed between the time my old computer went bye-bye and this
one).  I'm connected from Serial In/Out A to COM1.  Rig control on the
Rigblaster is connected to CI-V remote jack on the 756 PRO II.  Here's the
set up under the Preferences/Radio tab:

 

Type - Icom 756 PRO II

Address - 64 (I've verified the address on the rig screen)

Baud - 9600

Com Port - COM1

Poll Rate - 5000

Max Tries - 6

DTR High - Off (When I leave this on the rig keys continuously)

RTS High - Off (When I leave this on the PTT is on continuously)

 

Any ideas?
