Hi Bill --

By any chance are you using your TT USB-Serial adapter with a USB HUB ?

If so... try not doing that.

I used to praise the Win 7 drivers for my TT USB-Serial adapter... and now I curse it. My fix: I purchased a $5 adapter on eBay... works swell.

Many guys are dumping their Prolific based chips, in favor of FTDI based chips. I dumped mine in favor of one made by some cheap Chinese supplier. Not saying the TT supplied one should not work - it should... but I just plain gave up on it and have no regrets.


Just MY take... Your mileage may vary...

The 712 digital adapter worked just fine on the old computer's single
USB port. On the new computer it receives just fine with N1MM/MMTTY,
but the device is not keying the OMNI VII PTT. Maybe I just need to
solve the first problem above?

Thanks, Bill KO7AA in Tucson
