vCOM is a virtual Com port, like your RS-232 port. You can use it to have PowerSDR communicate with another application, like Ham Radio Deluxe, without adding hardware Com ports and making jumper cables to go between the Com ports; each application wants its own, dedicated Com port.

You can use it to have PowerSDR pass audio with another application, such as HRD's Digital Master 780, MixW, DRM, etc. without having to add another sound card and making jumper cables to send the audio back and forth, because each application wants its own sound card. < http://kb.flex-radio.com/article.aspx?id=10218 > Yes, I run PowerSDR with vCOM to communicate with Ham Radio Deluxe and at the same time with VAC to DM 780 for CW, RTTY, PSK31, SSTV, etc.. I don't know about how it works on Vista, as I am only running Windows XP and Linuxes here.
