Did you issue magic incantations on both Setup/Ports and Bands/Set Freq
and Mode? They must match and you must do Setup/Ports first. Also, you
could have invisible conflicts with other programs such as Palm Desktop
HotSynch or various FAX programs. They seem to tie up serial ports even
when they don't use them.
I am using a 2port USB-serial adapter (no manufacturer name on the box!)
that works like a charm to control any two of three different radios. It
is always confusing to set those two dialog boxes but once I get the
magic combination it works great. Don't forget to hit Setup/Save
Configuration after you get it working.

I'm trying to get a PCcables 70607 USB/RS232 adapter cable to work for
rig control under WriteLog. The device installed smoothly as COM4 and
I configured the port for 4800 baud. WL won't communicate
with my MP (N1MM Logger won't either) through the cable, and the "CAT"
light isn't blinking. I've changed its port assignment but that
doesn't help. WL works fine via the native COM1 port.
