[Dx4win] Radio control with no serial port question

[tstrait]

Thanks for everyone's suggestions but I found the solution staring me in the face. While I was swapping out the computer I had covered up one of those stupid little 3" DVD'S which was the drivers for my adapter (which I found this morning). Will have to finish setting up tonight when I get home from work but should be good to go.

Todd,

You need to load the device drivers so it shows up as a com port. Then, you can double click it, go to the Port Settings tab, click advanced and set the com port you want to use.

It shows up under system devices as an unknown device (didn’t know if I had some device driver for the radio on the old box I’m forgetting about?) as I can see it come and go if I plug/unplug the USB cable but doesn’t show up as a port option.  Is there a device driver I need installed for the radio (Yaesu FT920) that I’m totally forgetting about or something like that?  I feel stupid because I obviously had it working on the old computer but can’t get this one going. Both were/are running Vista but that’s a whole other story 

Howard – not radio settings, they are all fine (baud rate, etc.) it’s a com port connectivity issue.
