Re: When starting VARA USB Keyboard wont work, only with TENTEC Jupiter as the radio


 

Rory
Is your keyboard connected to a powered USB hub?

If it is a laptop keyboard then your computer should be always allowing you to work with it.
If using an external keyboard (USB,) then I would suggest defining it with device manager for the com port assigned by hub be looked at.

Hi all,
???? So I tracked down the cause (kinda).? Only when I start VARA HF and the modem Sound Card is connected on the OUTPUT side to the Jupiter Sound Card.? The INPUT connection does not affect the keyboard.? I verified there are only default settings for the Sound Card for INPUT and OUTPUT.? The Jupiter sound connects via a Signalink with SLMOD5PD card and SLCAB5PD cable to the 5pin DIN on the radio.? A RS232 to USB cable for CAT control.? The INPUT sounds appears on the waterfall.?
????? When the VARA HF MODEM starts, the keyboard no longer functions.? When I change the OUTPUT to any other sound card the keyboard works.? Switching it back immediately blocks the keyboard.? Notice the radio was never in transmit mode.? No RF.? Just the sound card interfering with the sound when it is connected via VARA HF.? Any ideas?
