Thanks to all who have answered both on and off the list. I have had my sat station working on a prior computer, an XP laptop, not with the KeySpan but with one serial adapter cable plus the "real serial interface" in that computer. I've not tried those on the Win7's. I no longer have the XP's; they both died this past winter.
Interfaces are the GS232 from Yaesu, and the CT-17 level converter from ICOM. Though I have a lot of stuff on USB, 4 ports out of 6 total, I have tested with only the KeySpan attached. I will try the alternate programs suggested off-list. I may try the "real serial interface" approach--a good idea. Though I live in a small town, there is a computer geek who lives nearby me. I have at least one salvaged serial port interface from a previous computer. I have another junked computer that possibly has one in it also. I'll check that out. I will get the additional information from the crash screen and display here. 73, Larry On 5/1/2010 1:45 AM, Erich Eichmann wrote: > Larry, > I will answer your mail off the list. > 73s, Erich, DK1TB > > > _______________________________________________ Sent via amsat...@amsat.org.
