[LOGic] Logic 8 and Microham Interfaces

[Rich Miller]

Hi All;

I use a MK2R+ with LOGIC 8, and have had some trouble keeping the link open
on Radio One (FT-2000). Usually after ten minutes I am forced to reset the
radio interfaces in order to bring it back to life. Radio Two FT-1000MP
works flawlessly with the MK2R+ and LOGIC, and both radios are connected at
the same time in my case.

I have also noted that I am unable to automatically log split frequency
using the FT-2000; even when I am hooked straight to the serial port of the
computer (bypassing the MK2R+). This leads me to believe there is problem
that surrounds the FT-2000 and LOGIC, and the SO2R controller is running as
it should with LOGIC. 

I am not sure if this helps, but I thought it worth noting my experience.

Theory: it can depend on the commercial libraries used, which is 
dependent on the development platform... most programmers don't write 
the COM routines themselves. (I don't know if this is the case with 
Logic). The COM manipulation used by Ham programs sometimes  pushes the 
envelope with these libraries that are usually developed for standard 
serial communications.  Getting this fixed or working around it can be 
time consuming.

OTOH, my Microham interface works perfectly with Logic (using USB)... so 
what does that prove... absolutely nothing ;-)

So pass on your exact setup... and I'll see if I can help this evening 
until Dennis gets back to you...
