[RTTY] Rigblaster Plus & Windows 10

[Don Hill AA5AU]

I found a Rigblaster plus manual on my old computer and you are right, it
does not have a USB interface built in. Instead, it needs to connect to a
legacy serial port or USB-to-serial adapter. I have informed the user.

Thanks,
Don AA5AU

The Rigblasters themselves are just interfaces, no driver is needed.

I'm pretty sure the CD that comes with the product just has a collection of
digital ham shareware, the documentation and the drivers for the included
USB-Serial cable if that is required. If there is a problem that's likely to
be the source.  I have no idea if they use the Prolific or FTDI chipset. The
Prolific is a headache if you don't find the right driver - most of the ones
freely available are crap. But in either case I'd bet dollars for donuts
that the USB driver supplied doesn't support Windows 10.

If all else fails you can always just purchase another USB-Serial cable with
a driver that works under Windows 10.

Had someone who owns a Rigblaster Plus contact me to say they are having
trouble getting Windows 10 to recognize the Rigblaster.

Anyone using this combination and let me know what driver they used.

Thanks,
