[amsat-bb] CONTINUATION OF HELP WITH USB TO SERIAL CONTROL OF KENWOOD

[Rick Walter]

I appreciate the replies to my problem. It’s solved. The computer kept telling me the USB to serial device was running fine with up to date drivers on Com 3. I finally changed that out with one of the other 2 USB to serial adapters I own, fired every thing up and all is well again! I assume the other adapter was just too old for Windows 10. 

The interesting thing was the SatPC32 program was updating the sat frequencies on the screen but not talking to the radio with the old adapter. 

Life is good when you solve an aggravating problem!

Thanks to all and 73,
Rick WB3CSY
