Can't recreate lost com ports

K0FG_Fred

Have a 6400M running newest SSDR. Had to do a factory reset because things got messed up, no display on reboot, lost TX profiles, again, etc. Lost most, but not all cat ports from SSDR Cat, but they still show up in device manager, ports 10-14. Com port 10 shows in device manager so when I try to create the lost com ports it starts with number 15, not number 10.

In device manager I did uninstall device on com port 10-110 and it went away. But when I try to create a new com port it still starts at number 15. If I reboot the PC then those com ports, 10-14 show up again in device manager, but not in SSDR Cat.

How can I get rid of com ports 10-14 from the pc so I create those com ports using SSDR Cat? I guess I could just start with com port 15 but then I would need to reconfig the programs that use those com ports 10-14. There must be a way to start over with com port 10, etc.

Hi Jeff.. Thanks for your reply. I don't know if I can do what you suggest. My com ports are not hidden, but I will try to delete them. I did follow the instructions but when I highlight one of the com ports in dev mgr there is no delete function to click on, all I see are update, disable and uninstall device. But there is no delete option. I tried to uninstall device but still cannot create those com ports in Cat. And when I reboot the pc the com ports are back again.

Fred, at this time, you need to open a support ticket. They will get you sorted out. They do this all the time and know exactly what to do.

I think I did it by using the reset flexrsv ports option in the Cat program. Seems it got rid of all the ports in dev mgr and now I can create new ports. I found this info in a prior msg about this problem.

Thanks for the help.
