Realterm

Also works with USB/Serial which may be the way you are running LVB Tracker on a PC with no real serial devices.

Will also snoop the data stream and capture it.

I am looking for a FREE Terminal Emulator app. as Win7 64 does not include it as it did with XP. I want it to communicate with the LVB Tracker. Can any one recommend one?

Thanks Charlie K3VDB

Hyperterm PE version 6.3, which was a modest upgrade to the version shipped with XP, is still available from various download sites. Hilgraeve has started work on it again after an 8 year lapse, but they are charging for the new versions. Google "Hyperterm PE 6.3" and numerous sites will come up. Note that some make it sound as if it is a trial version, but if it is version 6.3, it is a full version.

The trick about pulling off the EXE and DLL files is widely reported, but can be iffy. A friend was looking for a terminal program to distribute on a CD along with some other stuff for an APRS project. He took my suggestion to do that, as it worked on my machines. However, some but not all Vista machines choked on it with protection errors. The ones they tested when they did the install worked fine, but that is not what they were looking for. After some additional research, they went with PUTTY, which worked fine.

Charlie,

I ran across the following info that looks interesting. 73 de Andy W5ACM ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------- While Hyperterminal shipped with Windows XP, it however did not ship with Windows Vista (Boo Microsoft, Boo!). However that doesn't mean that you can't use it. What you can do is rip the following files from a Windows XP disc or installation;

hypertrm.dll

hypertrm.exe

Now all you need to do is place them anywhere in your Vista directory and link the shortcut to

hypertrm.exe. Now you can launch it and it will first ask for Zip code and state. Afterwards you can being to use Hyperterminal as usaual. If you don't have a copy of Windows XP handy, you can download the file's I've ripped and use it as well;

Side note, although I am using the Windows 7 RC1, I do see a placeslot of Hyperterminal, but no application for it. You'll be happy to know that this also will work for Windows 7 as well - *note, this works for 32/64bit Vista and Windows 7!*
