I have been resurrecting my computer after a hard disk failure and its mostly up and running but for one thing (at least right now), port assignments. I have 2 programs that need to access the two ports, 2 & 3. These ports were defined by drivers that I loaded for my Yaesu FTdx3000 via a USB cable. It works quite well. The problem I have, my logging program which has the ability to read the rigs frequency wants to use the same port and when it does, both programs need to be rebooted even though, the logging program says one of the ports is "Available". So, my question is, can I or is there a program that will make or install a few more ports that I can use other than the 2 that I use for the rig? K2WH
Assuming you mean serial ports. http://com0com.sourceforge.net There are other virtual serial port drivers out there.
Not sure ? The Yaesu uses a USB port via a USB cable, not a DB-9 or 25. Not sure if the USB port in my FTdx3000 is a serial port.
Software can recognize USB as a serial port. That is what KA8NCR is saying. The PHSNA software for the Arduino (which connects via USB) allows choice of serial ports in case one is used by the system or other software. Ted, KX4OM
