Hi Gary,
Have you tried reinstalling the drivers for the USB<->serial cables?
On my system, I have a USB-serial cable for the PC-radio (TS-790) & a USB cable to the rotor controller (LVB Tracker), each on its own USB serial comm port with independent drivers.
It sounds like maybe the comm port drivers have become disrupted in your system.

I just purchased an Ea7tx AZ/EL rotor controller and installed the software. I got the rotor controller working from Satpc32 but when I went back to the radio Satpc32 would no longer talk to the radio. I had that working fine before installing the rotor software.

 

I tried removing (uninstalling ) the rotor software and that did not help. Even uninstalled and reinstalled Satpc32 software without the rotor controller software. Tried several different ports but still can’t make It connect to the radio (Yaesu 736).

 

I don’t think that I was able to remove the “server software) that gets put on by the rotor software?

 

The cable to the radio from the PC is a blue max USB to serial cable.

I tried another computer that never had the rotor software installed, only Satpc32, and it talked to the radio fine.

 

Any thoughts on how to fix?

Thanks
