Hello Tim, et al, I have tried everything I know to resolve but need HELP from Flex and/or BobT so DX4WIN will connect too the SCAT 1.2.0 '3rd party program' port. All previous SCAT's worked just fine. If BobT and/or Flex cannot resolve, can I uninstall SCAT 1.2.0 and revert back to SSDR V1.0.0 and its SCAT? BobT looked at a problem like this back with the very first preview rev of SSDR/SCAT and he found I needed two RX's open for radio to respond and that has worked good up until now.
I get a timeout message from DX4WIN, 'Radio not responding'. Dennis, k0eoo.
