I want to connect an Icom PCR1000 scanning receiver to my K415b but cannot get the laptop to see the PCR1000.<BR /><BR />I have the USB/RS232 cable adaptor, the drivers are installed correctly and the COM port is 1. Reporting as OK in Device Manager but my PCR1000 software does not communicate with the COM1 port.<BR /><BR />Thinking that the USB port on the laptop is USB2 and the USB-RS232 cable is USB only I put a USB hub into the laptop but that made no difference.<BR /><BR />Any ideas please?<BR />TIA<BR />John<BR /></P></BODY></HTML> Fri, 05 Aug 2005 15:04:53 GMT https://community.sony.pt/t5/pcs-accessories/usb-to-rs232-from-my-laptop/m-p/72163#M105766 JohnFarrar 2005-08-05T15:04:53Z Re: USB to RS232 from my laptop https://community.sony.pt/t5/pcs-accessories/usb-to-rs232-from-my-laptop/m-p/72165#M105767 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>A lot of applications that use the RS232 port use direct addressing rather than the O/S calls. Ther is usually no workaround for this problem.<BR /></P></BODY></HTML> Fri, 05 Aug 2005 15:12:39 GMT https://community.sony.pt/t5/pcs-accessories/usb-to-rs232-from-my-laptop/m-p/72165#M105767 robpaxton 2005-08-05T15:12:39Z Re: USB to RS232 from my laptop https://community.sony.pt/t5/pcs-accessories/usb-to-rs232-from-my-laptop/m-p/72167#M105768 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>Thanks Rob even though your reply is not very encouraging.<BR />I am using XP Pro FWIW.<BR />Cheers<BR />John<BR /></P></BODY></HTML> Fri, 05 Aug 2005 19:27:17 GMT https://community.sony.pt/t5/pcs-accessories/usb-to-rs232-from-my-laptop/m-p/72167#M105768 JohnFarrar 2005-08-05T19:27:17Z
