Hulen,
Use the serial ports (real or virtual) of your computer. The radio is
the computer, your 1500 is "only" the front end.
You can select the port and other details in the setup/CAT tab of the
program.

I'm at a loss as to how to connect (CAT control w/third party software) with
my 1500 since it has no serial port. I'm familiar with vCOM& VAC as I use
it with my K3/PWSDR-IF. I use it also with LP-Bridge and HRD with my
Flex-1000. These radios have serial ports. Once I connect to them I can use
VCOM or similar virtual com port program to inter-connect with everything. I
can't figure out how to get to first base with the 1500 since it is USB.
All of the third party software looks for comm ports for these connections.
I've "written" (Visual Basic) programs to control my K3, TS-2000 and
OrionII. No issue connecting to these radios with my software. The 1500 is
an exception, yet I read and see where others are doing this. I must be in a
unique position of NOT being able to see the forest for all the trees in the
way. Can someone explain CAT control differences between radios with comm
ports versus those that are controlled via USB/IEEE ? or direct me to a file
somewhere?
Please don't suggest the 1500 manual. I believe much of it is a reprint from
earlier manuals as it doesn't suggest anything unique for the 1500 with
regard to CAT. Maybe therein are all those trees standing in the way. ;)
I'm having to use VAC now to redirect my audio to USB phones since the
"Phones" output on the 1500 is defective. I have a RA already to return it
to Flex for repair. This is another issue that I hope hasn't much or
anything to do with CAT control and third party software.
Thanks much
