Hi Erick,

I have purchased a Windows 8.1 PC recently and loaded it with a StarTech serial board. I had to install the Win7drivers since the one for win 8 wasen't available. That work fine for me. Might be worth a try.

Hi all.

Last week I upgraded my old shack XP box to 8.1. The migration went pretty smooth.
But... the only thing not working is RTTY keying. One card is a Sunix 
brand (model 4036), the other is a StarTech (model unknown; but 
Windows found the proper drivers, or so it said).
Both cards have Windows 8.1 64 bit drivers; which - according to 
Microsoft - should work fine. But they don't.
The StarTech makes my PC crash when I try to do RTTY with it; the 
Sunix card puts my rig in transmit; but doesn't do the FSK keying. In 
fact, I can select either COM port in the software, and - regardless 
of whether the cable is hooked up to COM4 or COM5 - the radio goes 
into transmit! Weird, to say the least.
So, my question: what are you using on Windows 8.1 that properly works 
in RTTY? Clearly my (oldish) cards and their drivers are no good....
Thanks, 73,

Erik - K5WW
