Log4OM

Hi,
The hard drive on my computer has failed (Windows 7) so have bought new computer (Windows 10) and have reinstalled (as administrator) Log4OM and Omnirig. I have a Kenwood 590SG transceiver. I disabled Windows Defender during the installs. I am using the same CAT cable as on my old computer. Everything seems to have installed OK and I have recovered my logbook from my backup. I am unable to obtain a connection via CAT between the program and my radio. I have kept Windows Defender off whilst trying to connect . I have attached the log file if that is of help. Any assistance would be appreciated

Do you have Skype or preferably TeamViewer on the Log4om pc?

Sounds like either a 590 menu setting for CAT via acc incorrect or a com port/ baud rate miss-match

Thanks Terry - I don't have Skype or teamviewer installed, but will look at the 590 menu setting. Just looked at the 590 manual and it seems I should install the Kenwood virtual port driver although I didn't do that on my old computer. Will press on and investigate further - thanks for your help.

Make sure the radio is not connected to the computer when you install the driver

Hi Terry,

Everything working OK now with the installation of the Kenwood virtual port driver and the matching of the baud rate between the radio and the software program. Many thanks for pointing me in the right direction.
Best wishes

Its always the simple things!

Modern radios with USB ports are unique in requiring special USB drivers, generic Windows drivers dont work. So all modern Kenwood and Icom (Dont know about Yaesu stuff) are the same - Install the manufacturers driver first - before connecting the radio!

Thanks for the advice - much appreciated!
