Hello again...
got rid of the ftdx1200 and now have a ftdx3000..lovely rig..
trying to get it to work with sdrc as external radio.
no hope..(except for once yesterday, and i have NO idea how!!)
using serial to usb to pc.pc sees it and says all good..(worked yesterday.)
omnirig set up on same com port (com 4.) as pc sees it.
omnirig and ftdx set at same baud rate. (38400) as is pc.
cat rts on ftdx set on.(tried off .same no go.)
cat select on ftdx set to rs232..(as using serial to usb.)
cat does NOT show up on elad sdr display.(does when working.as in yesterday..)
tried switching on rigs before and after starting sdrc..etc..no effect..
followed sdrc web page to the letter.
all i get is ftdx3000 is not respomding in the external radio window..OR gives me port is busy..screenshot is of not responding..
just to add tried every option in ftdx cat menu..many times..
been at this now for HOURS!!..tried everything my limited knowledge allows.
please anyone HELP!!!...
thank you mag loop simon
