Thanks. Writelog has something to do with this, as I can control my ICOM
rig with a RocketPort card with DxBase, but I switch to WriteLog and it
doesn't work. I guess I'll just go with COM1 for this version of
WriteLog....
Have people had luck with USB extenders that have COM ports on them? I can
do that, too. I only have one motherboard COM port, though.
All the permutations of hardware makes the mind boggle!
Cheers,
Dick, K6KR
