    SmartSDR CAT is designed to be able to create multiple ports.  See the SmartSDR CAT User Guide for more info.

    Look to see if you have ghosted serial ports. You might be trying to set up COM27, and it's already assigned.

    As mentioned.. no reinstall necessary... simply select the ones that are grayed out, right mouse click.. a window will pop, select "uninstall device"  but DO NOT remove the drivers.. so in your case you'd remove both com27 and it's pair com127... while your there you might as well remove any / all unused com ports.  When you are finished reboot the PC and try again.

    Good luck

    I have the exact problem.  I removed all the unused, grayed out, ports.  I ran the program that removes the unused ports from the registry.  Rebooted and still cannot create a comport.

    Anybody else have any ideas what to try?

    Thanks

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.
