[LOGic] LOGic - Remote control and port sharing

[N6FM Ben]

The TS-2000 only has one serial port. You can't control with two programs at
the same time. 

I would suggest obtaining TRX-Manager' use that instead of ARCP. It has a
great number of features to control the 2000 (since the author owns one) and
can be linked to Logic. That way, setting the rig in Logic will cause TRX to
respond. Only one serial port is required.

Subject: [LOGic] LOGic - Remote control and port sharing

I have two rigs interfaced to LOGIC:
a) An FT1000MP using a derived USB-Serial port
b) A TS2000 using a "real" serial port
Right now every thing is in the hamshack, local control. All this works
fine.

I'm in the process of remoting the TS2000 via WIFI.
I'm using Kenwood's ARCP2000 control software, which requires a serial port
to interface the rig and PC (this steals the serial port from LOGIC).

Need another serial port so the TS2000 can talk to LOGIC while also talking
to the ARCP2000 software.

I searched the LOGIC archives but couldn't find any discussions on how to
share serial ports. Or add a USB hub plus more derived USB/Serial ports?

Any suggestions for "best way" to let the rig control software and LOGIC
talk to the TS2000 simultaneously? ("Best way" =
cheap/simple/inexpensive/reliable!)

Tnx
