Can someone help me with connecting HRD to my Flex 5000. I have the VAC cables all set up. My problem is when I go to connect HRD I need a com port. What do I use as a port in the connect screen?

    Russ, Do you have a virtual serial port SW of some sort loaded? Windows will only let a program connect to unique com port that is not shared by another program, so you need a program to generate these virtual serial ports and then tie two ends together, so data that goes one end goes out the other end as unique com ports . There are several virtual serial data programs out there, but we general recommend using VSP Manager from Steve, K5FR . Drop him a note, with you ham call requesting a copy, he includes instructions for connecting with PowerSDR. K5fr@arrl.net. .

Rich Text Editor. To edit a paragraph's style, hit tab to get to the paragraph menu. From there you will be able to pick one style. Nothing defaults to paragraph. An inline formatting menu will show up when you select text. Hit tab to get into that menu. Some elements, such as rich link embeds, images, loading indicators, and error messages may get inserted into the editor. You may navigate to these using the arrow keys inside of the editor and delete them with the delete or backspace key.
