I inadvertently sent this just to N9OH instead of the whole group so I will
post this here.
Has anyone tried using the Userport Utility with Win 7 and higher and does
it work? The reason for my question is that I had an XP machine that the
power supply died in and I can not get a replacement for it. I am going to
be forced to upgrade to either Win 7, 8 or 10 when I get a new computer to
replace the dead one. The machine I am ordering from Dell will have a
serial port, parallel port and USB ports on it and Windows 7 as the operating
system. If Userport works with Win 7, then I will not have to spend $32+
apiece for USB to RS232 adaptors.
I am, currently running 930's and am in the process of upgrading those to
K3's. For all but 1 radio, I am CW keying through a parallel port since I
have the LPT interfaces for the keying lines. I have been using Userport
to fool XP into thinking it is Win 98 to allow it to address a parallel port.
Thanks in advance.
