[amsat-bb] VSPE 64-bit splitter

[Mark Johns]

Thanks, Jim. I will definitely look into this! PBP2 says it uses Eltima drivers, and that's a good sign because of today's experiment.
 
FWIW, I tried today with the Eltima Serial Port Splitter, (http://www.eltima.com/products/serialsplitter/) and after a little messing around, I got the whole thing to work pretty well. There are two problems, however:

1) Eltima does splits, but doesn't do pairs. So to do APRS through the ISS, I needed to use VSPE to create a pair, and Eltima to do the split, running both programs at the same time.

2) Eltima wants $99.95 USD for their software, so I'll likely not be able to continue this setup after the 14-day free trial expires. Also, you can't save configurations in the free trial, so the whole thing needs to be set up from scratch each time. I think if you pay the fee that problem goes away.--

I fought with issues like this on the station PC down at NI6BB.


I *never* got things to share the com port until I used LBP2, which is a 
similar bridge program.


Id just about given up, and thought I'd give it one last try after I 
installed the LP=PAN panadaptor for our ancient Kenwood TS-850.


Fo;;owing the instructions, I had port sharing between the panadptor (it 
uses PowerSDR), FLDIGI, and ACLog.


Give it a try, it's free.
