Hello Mike, open the menu Rotor-Setup and open the list of supported interfaces/controllers. To open the list click on the little control (arrow down) left of the "Search" button. In the list that opens select the item "Yaesu_GS-232". Then click on the "Store" button in the upper section of the menu and restart SatPC32. The program should then start ServerSDX. Click on it in the taskbar to show it normally. In the ServerSDX setup window select COM port and baudrate, save the settings and re-start SatPC32 again.

You clicked the "Search" button and navigated to the SatPC32 DATA folder, sub folder SDX. ServerSDX.Exe, however, is located in the sub folder SDX in the SatPC32 PROGRAM folder (usually C:\Program Files\SatPC32\SDX).

Please, let me know whether it works.

Anyone else having trouble getting the GS-232 interface to work on ver 12.8? The rotor setup "Search" takes me to the KEPS folder, then I select the SDX folder. When the program is re-run a pop-up window indicates "SDXParem.exe is missing. I can't find it either using XP Search. I've tried this on a laptop that has never seen any other version of SatPC32 to avoid any conflicts.

Went back to 12.7 which works fine.
