id880 serial usb

 

I have a new computer with win 8.1 usb to serial to the 2.5mm data jack and ptt doesn't always work using d-rats. I can't find any ?turn on scenario that works. Once it worked ?the time it was on and after closing and restarting it, sometime worked ?once but most times it doesn't work.


Any ideas appreciated,

Hi Rolan,
Thanks for joining the group.?
Go into the device manager and try to move your USB to serial converter to the lowest possible port number. When you go to change it in D-RATS, type in the port number rather than selecting it from the list. Finally, exit D-RATS and restart. The D-RATS program may have to see the changed config file when it starts up.

Good luck and 73 de Patrick
 

Patrick,

Thanks much, I'll try that. ?The latest scenario I have tried that 'seems' to work is to :

1. leave radio on and plugged into the usb port.
2. shutdown computer, ?no restart, shut down
3. restart computer?
4. run ?drats

I'm off to see the wizard of Oz (device manager) ?and change the USB serial port to 1 and see what that does.

Ok, ?back from changing USB port to com1 and typed in com1 in drats preferences set up and it 'seems' to work. ?I disconnected the USB cable and plugged it back in and it would not tx but I closed ?d-rats and restarted and it seems to work all the time.?

Thanks much Pat !!?

Now to find someone to get on refl 15C to see if I can go thru our local 2m DSTAR and work the digi ?reflector. I will have to set the repeater to refl 15C so I will have to coordinate .

If anyone is interested ?you an email me ? at ?w3fdk@... or rolan.clark@....

The arrl one is probably easier.

Thanks again Pat
