One closed friend asked me to help to solve a problem with cat control
and dx4win. I solved the problem but i would like to mention it here.
Maybe someone has the same and find a solution or Paul does something
for it. So...
My friend had a kenwood 850 and a serial cat interface bought from ebay.
He used a prolific usb to serial interface to connect it with the
computer. Dx4win was giving timeout while Ham Radio Deluxe could read
normally the radio!!! After some search the problem found to be that usb
to serial was plugged to a usb hub. When we plug the usb to serial
direct to a computer's usb, both dx4win and HRD work normally. I suppose
that dx4win waits for a quicker response from the radio in compare with
HRD. Tests with a slower poll rate (I think 500ms) didn't solved the
problem.
