Many thanks to all who responded to my plea for help - what a great list!

After several failed attempts at resolving the problem, I noticed that my
Windows COM ports weren't enumerated  with "RRC1258...) like several had
suggested.  The Microbit install with drivers had proceeded without issues,
so I hadn't given that part of the process any further thought.  BIG
mistake on my part!  It turned out that the driver part of the installation
had failed without any notification and the drivers weren't actually
installed.

I located the driver installation file on the hard drive and manually
updated each of the four Windoze COM ports with the RemoteRig driver for
it.  SUCCESS!!! Everything now seems to be communicating correctly and
logging software interfaces correctly thru the control RemoteRig back to
the radio.

A frustrating process to say the least, but it all now works smoothly.
Final test will be later this fall from a truly remote location.  Thanks
again to all who responded!

73,
