Re: [Flexradio] VAC vCOM
Hi Ray, I also remember that there was an .INI file associated with vCOM. You can edit it to change anything that would be done by the configurator. I think that in ancient times (circa: 2005) we had to edit the com pairs in the .ini file before the configurator was born :-) Perhaps the Vista folks can edit the .ini to setup whatever they need in vCOM? de ken n9vv Ray, K9DUR wrote: Tim, My experience with vCom under Vista is that vCom itself works well. However, the configurator does not work properly. As long as you leave the virtual COM port pairs at their default port numbers and do not try to change them, all is well. 73, Ray, K9DUR ___ FlexRadio Systems Mailing List FlexRadio@flex-radio.biz http://mail.flex-radio.biz/mailman/listinfo/flexradio_flex-radio.biz Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/flexradio%40flex-radio.biz/ Knowledge Base: http://kb.flex-radio.com/ Homepage: http://www.flex-radio.com/
Re: [Flexradio] VAC vCOM
I am running vcom, vac, and vista business and it seems to play well. I only used two port combinations in vcom - 4/5 3/14 - which were not defaults and it is working without issue...so far. I have not had any problems with the configurator. Looking at the n8vbvcom.inf file it appears to have the proper pairing that I set up. So it would appear the configurator is doing its job. don - kx9q ___ FlexRadio Systems Mailing List FlexRadio@flex-radio.biz http://mail.flex-radio.biz/mailman/listinfo/flexradio_flex-radio.biz Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/flexradio%40flex-radio.biz/ Knowledge Base: http://kb.flex-radio.com/ Homepage: http://www.flex-radio.com/

Re: [Flexradio] VAC vCOM
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. http://kb.flex-radio.com/article.aspx?id=10045 VAC, Virtual Audio Cable, allows you to simulate multiple sound cards, even though you may have only one hardware sound card. 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. Mike - AA8K Bruce Mills - KL7JDR wrote: What is the differance between VAC vCOM ?

Re: [Flexradio] VAC, VCOM. WSJT Questions
Alan, You know how to do this? I have Ubuntu on this machine, but it is either boot UBuntu or WinXP. If you can't run some version of Windows with Linux, there goes your applications software. I hate MS as much as anyone, but OS2, OSX, Linux, and whatever they are running on the new Macs, all didn't produce any ham type application software to speak of. Actually, I don't see anything wrong with an embedded Linux machine. While you are at it, just add some knobs on the front. ;-) Make it complete, not needing anything else, in other words, a Flex5000U machine.

[Flexradio] VAC, VCOM. WSJT Questions
I am currently using DXLab. If I want to use WSJT (or any other program) do I need a Com port for it and another for HRD? If I am using WSJT does it use the same CAT port as Winwarbler or do I have to switch to another one for each app? Do all programs use the same VAC lines or do I need a pair for each app?
