I have installed the VSP manager. It seems to be a far superior program, at least as far as windows 7 is concerned. The com ports have shown up in HRD immediately. Now I am curious. Since it assigns to virtual ports say #2 and #3 which port should I set the cat control to in hrd and in Power sdr. Should they be set to the first available port #2? Not to sure on how the system works. I assume data flows through each com port in only 1 direction. com port 2 send info to hrd, then hrd sends to power sdr via com port 3. Then again I am just assuming. Thanks 73 Adam N8MOX
