I recently bought on eBay a USB interface cable that claims to be compatible with FT-980 (among other radios that use the same CAT connector style).. Connected it to the latest version of HRD running on Windows 10, on a modern computer.? The virtual port is created correctly, HRD configured to work with it but there is no communication with the radio.
BTW, HRD claims to support FT-980.? It appears in their pull? down list.
Do you guys have any suggestions on how to troubleshoot this?? There are two variables here:? the HRD and the cable.? I think I can rule out the radio as I tried three different ones.? The computer should not be a suspect as I tried two different laptops (both i7).
Are there any programs that would run on WIn10 that I could use for diagnostics?
