SmartSDR CAT COM Port Creation

Colleagues,

I am trying to use Fldigi after a couple of years of non-use. I have used SmartSDR CAT to create a serial COM port (COM 13) and a PTT COM port (COM 14). I am unable to use either of these ports with FLdigi RigCAT to cause PTT to be functional in my 6700. I am using the XML file created by Tim in RigCAT.

When I examine the two newly created COM ports in Windows 10 Device Manager, I see under Events, I see the message "Device Install Requested". Under Resources, I see "Device isn't using any resources because it has a problem".

In SmartSDR CAT, I do not see the Fldigi process associated with either COM port as I switch between the two.

I was able to use Fldigi with the Flex-6700 in the past, but something has either changed or I am forgetting something essential. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated!

    I forgot to mention that I am using version 2.6.2 of SmartSDR.

    Hello. I have exactly the same problem following an update to Windows 10 20H4. I see the same error message in Device Driver. I cannot longer use N1MM. In my case this behavior occurred after I upgraded to Win 10 20H4. Dax drivers and TCP/IP control is fine, it is just the virtual serial port that are not longer working. I am using version 3.1.12 of Smart SDR.

    Thanks in advance for any suggestions you may have.

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.
