[WriteLog] TS-480S Rig Control Woes

[Mike McCarthy, W1NR]

Have you tried a plain ordinary non-USB serial port?  Do you have the
latest drivers for the USB hardware from the manufacturer?

1.  I installed a dual-USB serial port device COM3 & COM4) & connected a
serial cable to my TS-480S

2.  I upgraded to WL 10.50D

3.  I loaded WL and selected (Setup | Ports).  Only "Kenwood" & "Kenwood
TS-850" show as Kenwood options

4.  I tried both Kenwood options

5.  I tried 4800 baud and 9600 baud

6.  I tried 1 stop bit and 2 stop bits

7.  I tried various combinations of 4, 5 & 6

8.  In each situation, I get "NO RIG" showing in the lower left hand
corner
of WL

9.  If I click on "NO RIG" (which yields the Logging/Duping Frequency
et.al. dialog box), and type in 14250, click the USB radio button,
choose
Log the frequency of qsos "rig on COMM3", click the SET button and then
click the "OK" button, I hear a beep and the TS-480S goes to 14250.

10.  The "NO RIG" control button in the lower left hand corner of WL
still
says "NO RIG" (and of course, the "R" inside the Green Circle is there
(also in #8 above, actually).

11. Tuning the VFO dial on the TS-480S yields zip squat.

12. Frustration is a *mild* word for where I'm at.

Any help is appreciated.

Tnx & 73...

Rick, K6VVA
