Ah, another victim of Microsoft Windows' screwed-up "support" for Bluetooth serial devices.
A serial port is _one_ COM port, not two (the way Windows Bluetooth pairing screws up).
There is a Bluetooth plugin for YAAC, which works around this problem by bypassing the Windows Bluetooth serial port driver. After adding the Bluetooth plugin to YAAC, ensure that the Bluetooth device is _not_ paired in Windows; if it is, the Windows driver will steal bytes from the device so that YAAC only gets partial data. Then use the Bluetooth_TNC port type in YAAC (provided only by the plugin) to connect to the Bluetooth device without pairing.
This also will prevent YAAC from rudely crashing or hanging should the Bluetooth device go out of range of the computer or run out of battery power.
Hope this helps.
