Hi All
I am trying to use CTWIN running on an XP laptop to control a K3 radio.
The laptop has no comports nor lpt port on it - only 3 USB ports.
The K3 comes with a USB to serial port adapter cable that is used to set a
template of memories in the radio. This works FINE on the laptop - so the
cable is GOOD.
I cannot make this cable work with CTWIN though to control the radio -
WINDOWS system folder says the serial port is assigned COM6.
I set the SETUP file in CT to COM6 at 4800 baud. The K3 RS232 port is set
to 4800 baud.
I selected K3 as RADIO 1 in the CT WIN setup mask.
But nothing happens over on the radio when I boot up the BIN file.
It is DEAD.
Is this an issue where CT(even CT WIN) cannot interface to a USB port?
I think this may work using a PCMCIA card - I haven't tried that way yet to
derive a COMPORT on the laptop. I know one time I did try this and it worked
on CTWIN to make a NETWORK over to CTWIN running on a WIN 98 Machine in
windows mode.
Is this a USB issue and CTWIN being incompatible?
But can you please comment on what you think?
Tks
