Rig control and FSK should work on just about any add-on PCI card using a 16550
UART or better.
The Byterunner is probably using a 16550 or 16950 so IT WILL WORK FOR FSK AND
RADIO CONTROL.
I'm not sure why FSK would not work on Com 4 or 5. I just recently purchased
and installed a
2 port Byterunner PCI card and it works fine as Com 4 and 5.
If FSK works fine on COM 1, leave it there. Connect radio to Com 4, then add a
line in your
writelog.ini file under the [Ports] section that says this:
COM4:=9600,n,8,1,
I had to add this line in order to get rig control working on COM 4. By the
way, I am using COM 5 for FSK with no problems and did not have to add a line
for COM 5.

Subject: [WriteLog] Rig control on serial card?
I've been using com 1 (motherboard com port) for rig control and running afsk
and cw on either com 4 or com 5, a byterunner add in card.
FSK will not work on either com 4 or 5, but works fine on com 1 I've seen
archive postings saying that add in cards don't always work FSK.
My problem is that with fsk working on com 1, I can't get rig control on either
com 4 or 5. Is a byterunner pci card limited to afsk and cw only while fsk and
rig control need to be on a motherboard port??
