Richard,
When you had suggested the y splitter last week, I thought it might
work, but suggested you ask Ameritron about it.
Looks like you are back to the age old problem of trying to get 2 things
to work on the same comm port at the same time. I guess the software
has to release the port so the amp can use it. Seems unpractical to
have to close the control/logger software any time you want to change
bands.
You can't be the only one doing this, so you should seek help from a
higher authority. Perhaps one the oracles at MFJ/Ameritron.
