[Dx4win] Help debugging COM port problem

[ON4AOI]

Jim,
This depends on the serial driver installed for this USB-RS232 adapter
If you get the brand and/or driver I could have a look
Normally FTDI drivers work on every OS and DX4WIN

Onderwerp: [Dx4win] Help debugging COM port problem

Hi Folks,

A user who lives two time zones away called me today.  He is having problems
with radio communication after he got a new computer.  The radio is a
TS-940, using the driver for TS85--950, 4800 baud.  The COM port is via a
USB-to-COM adapter (brand unknown), device manager says it's running on
COM4.

The radio worked on the old computer (probably had a real COM port).
The radio works on COM4 port using MixW software, but it does not
communicate with DX4WIN.  He double-clicks on a spot, but the radio does not
QSY.

Does anyone have experience debugging this sort of problem?  We've already
gone through the windows XP device manager, as well as his DX4WIN
preferences.  We tried turning RTS and DTR (?) both on but to no avail.

Thanks - Jim
