Hi all,
I already posted the same message on sdr-radio.com forum three weeks ago and got no answer, so I try on this forum... maybe I'll be more lucky.
I have a problem with SDR Console when I want to use my FT-817 or my FT-857 with external radio option. I receive the error message "Port busy" and/or "offline". To cancel it and make the external radio working, I have to remove and reinsert two, three times, sometimes more, the USB radio interface. Then it generally starts working BUT, at the same time, I see the CPU activity indicator passing from 2 or 3% to nearly 30% ! I dont understand why. I tested front or back USB ports, same problem. I even bought a powered USB hub, same problem.
My computer is W7 64 bits, i3 CPU, 4 GB RAM.
I will appreciate some help trying to solve this problem.
Many thanks and 73 !

Hi,
in VSPE, create a SPLITTER using a com-Port as the source and a virtual com-Port. Connect your radio to the source. Connect sdr-console and your log software etc. to the virtual port.
Speed etc. must match the settings in your radio.
is the software VSPE
but can't find the correct setting

Hi,
I set the virtual comport to omnirig
So now you have set a comport to your rig at omnirig.... Exampel. Virtual comport com4.... Open omnirig and set the comport number to the virtual comport number here 4....if you start now sdrconsole.... With a sdrrx.... It start. Now you can activate the second rx and choose omnirig. In the settings you cn choose somewhere... Following rig... Sri can't see it without te software here on the phone hihi. I hope it helps a bit. Grts

Here is a video . Plug in your radio or usb-adapter first, install the drivers, then select the new device as the source port. Create a virtual port e.g. 10. Does not work like this on your pc?

Martin i see the cat control on com 5
how can i find the comport that is being used by sdrconsole ?

Here is another video
ON7UC/1 If you don't need a connection to more than 1 software , there is no need to split the port. Just find your com port number in the windows device manager and set sdr-console/omnirig to use that port.
