[DXBase] Serial to USB cable (from VR2GA)

2004年1月29日 11:35:41 +0800

Hi friends:
Thanks for the many suggestions.
Just to be sure, I tried again the tranceiver with a desktop PC with RS-232C
Com 1 port and it worked fine. Back on the notebook PC and USB converter, I
am still not able to get the tranceiver to respond.
A question: What about Com Port selection as the program options specify
None to Com 1 to Com 16? I tried all Com port selections and only two were
able to open: Com 1 and Com 3. However, when trying the QSY function as a
test, the message indicating the tranceiver was unable to respond came up.
My settings are (which worked on the PC with RS-232C) 4800, 8 bits, Polarity
None, Stop bits: 1, Default DTR is set for default High. And, yes, I did
remember to select the "Connect HF Radio etc." Again, Com Ports 1 and 3 were
tried and both opened.
Any last suggestions before I give up and then try to buy a new adapter such
as the one recommended by Art?
Many tnx, 73s de Stan VR2GA

Subject: [DXBase] Serial to USB cable (from VR2GA)
Dear fellow users:
I have not yet upgraded to DXB2004 so am still with the 2003 version.
Recently I obtained a new notebook computer which is the PC on which I now
have to use DXB. Before, I used the Com1 port on my desktop and had no
problem to connect to my radio (Kenwood TS-850). My new PC has no serial
ports but instead has 2 USB ports. So, I tried to use a serial to USB cable
to from my tranceiver to the PC USB port. I had to go through a few comport
numbers in the USer Options until the program seemed to recognize my PC.
However, when doing a test logging, I found the Radio failed to respond
message. Is this because USB does not work in this case? Can I get some
suggestions. I am sorry if this has been answered before, but I have been
unable to read the reflector messages lately.
Thanks in advance for any help or suggestions,
Stan Lipin
