[TowerTalk] Sharing a COM Port?

[Martin Sole]

Alan,

I've used the Eterlogic VSPE on a Win 7 64 bit machine. It complains about
not being the 64 bit version but still seems to work ok.

I guess a YMMV might be in order here. Worth a try and if it works then
probably well worth the price of purchase for the real thing.

Subject: [TowerTalk] Sharing a COM Port?

I used to have SatPC32 in Yaesu mode controlling my Flex5K+VU5K and my
AlfaSpid rotator (in Yaesu mode) via DDUtil until some time ago when Yaesu
mode was dropped from the acceptable inputs of DDUtil: it now accepts only
Hy-Gain mode, and SatPC32 does not have a Hy-Gain option because there are
no Hy-Gain rotators with an Elevation capability.

Is there some way of having the rotator (on COM2) controlled by two
different programs: by DDUtil when I am not doing satellite stuff, and by
SatPC32 when I am working satellites? Maybe with one or more virtual COM
ports somewhere in the mix -- e.g., both programs driving virtual ports that
are then linked to the real COM2? The Eterlogic program looks as though it
might be able to create a suitable setup, but there is no free trial
available for the 64-bit version.
