If you're using PTT via CAT in MixW then you should only need 1 pair of
comm ports from VCOM. Does your computer have a Physical COM1 or COM2? If
so I'm not sure setting up a COM1/2 pair with vCOM will work - suspect it
will conflict a bit with the drivers for the hardware ports. Even if you
do not have a COM1/2 connector on the machine you still may have a COM1/2
in hardware for IrDA or something like that.
I'd suggest removing the vCOM definitions for COM1 and COM2. Then
configure PowerSDR for CAT control on COM7, and do not enable BitBang PTT
In MixW set CAT to COM7 and make sure PTT via CAT is enabled.
I know PowerSDR, vCOMM and MixW work - I use them all the time. Just a
matter of getting the configured correctly.
Hope this helps,

Hello to the group. Trying to get my SDR to work with VCOM and Mix W
digital software. It may be something simple but I just cannot seem to get
MixW to key the PTT and transmit audio.
I am able to receive no problem. I have my vCOM set up as follows:
Port 1 - Com port 7
Com port 8
Port 2 - Com port 1
Com port 2
I have the SDR CAT Control set to com 7
SDR PTT Control set to com 2
I have the MixW CAT and PTT control set to com 8
However, I am not sure where to insert the info for the vcom com port 1? I
have the PTT via CAT box checked in MIX W in the PTT&CAT control box. For
testing purposes, I am simply feeding the audio output from the MIXW
software directly to the mic input on the from panel of the SDR.
Any assistance would be appreciated. It appears that I am not getting PTT
as the SDR does not transmit. No sure what I am doing wrong.
Thank you in advance. 73's
