[WriteLog] Com Port problems

[Don Hill AA5AU]

Sorry, this one has me stumped. 

If you can't get radio control to work with any program then I would suspect
a hardware problem - either COM port board or radio or cable between them.

Do you have any other devices that use a COM port that you can test with
like a rotator or old KAM or PK232?

Does this radio have a DB9 connector on the back like the TS-870 and other
Kenwood radios? If so, have you tried reseating the connector on each end or
trying a different cable?

Have you tried resetting the radio back to default?

Hi John

Checked in Device Mgr.  Not using USB to serial port converter .  Am using
PCI com port board.

Port says that it is working ok.  Baud rate set at 9600, same as in
Writelog.
