[TenTec] Ham Radio Deluxe

Tue Jan 27 22:24:29 EST 2009

 Hi again
 Like Jack mentioned in his post..  
 try them both. the one that works is the one you want!
i am using COM1 for the ORION and LOGic8. COM3 is for MixW to send CW to a 
switch that keys the ORION.
jack ak7o

  That is pretty much what I did to find the proper port. The com settings in the lower portion of the rig setup next to the SO4R(Single operator four radios) is set at none.
  I am wondering if you are running a firewall. Also didn't your motherboard have serial ports. My newer Asus board did not but the older systems normaly did.
  Also there is another serial port that uses a two wire interface. In your manual page 3-11 they mention it. Never played with it yet.
 I am getting ready to start digital communications. New at it and havn't started until I make sure I don't goof up and bleed all over everybody. :O)   You can listen by running a rca jack from your audio output on your rig to a mini plug Input on your sound card. Then get a software program like Winwarbler. 
  Don't give up on the serial interface. Might just be something easy. Like a setting In your computers bios.
