Anthony, if you're using Win 9X, 2K or XP Then first determine what COM port
you're using by going to the control panel/system/device manager.  In the
tree view of device manager, open the tree view of the computer and press
'P' until you get to ports.  Open this and scroll down to you're serial
adaptor and make sure it is working properly.   Make sure there are no other
programs taking over the serial port, such as software for a PDA  or driver
for an external synthesizer.  Also don't forget the obvious like making sure
all physical connections are secure.

Good luck, Ken

Subject: COM PORT NOT AVAILABLE!!!


Hi Everyone;

I recently purchased the ICOM T90A.

I tried to use the software and no matter what com ports I choose com 1 to
com 4, the message keeps telling me that the com port is not available.

It tells me to check the cable, com port and, make sure the transceiver is
turned on.

Any ideas?

Thank you in advance.
