vpse

A little off subject. Can anyone help me setup "VPSE" emulator. I would like to use my logging software etc. using the same serial port.  Keep trying to set it up but can't seem to get it going. Any help would be appreciated....

HI Don,

You could also use LP Bridge, as this AP provides the same
functionality.  You can find LP Bridge via
http://www.telepostinc.com/LPB.html

LP Bridge is quite easy to use and virtualizes a K3 for up to three
comm ports.  VSPE is actually quite easy to use as well, but not as
obvious during set up.  

I use LP Bridge to combine rig and PTT control for programs like HRD.
In Navy-Marine Corps MARS, we use digital modes like MT63 for data and
traffic, and HRD doesn't have any facility for combining the control
and PTT port.  LPB handles it just fine.

I've virtualized the PTT port to COM20, and the control port to COM19.
Keep the xx in COMxx to a lower number to help ensure your
logging/digital software can access the port numbers.  Some of them
instead.

Don,

Assuming that you have VSPE installed;
- start VSPE
- click on the icon that looks like a serial connector with a red asterisk.
   This will create a new device.
- under device type choose "Splitter" then click on "Next"
- under "virtual serial port" choose an unused serial port (example - Com 1)
- under "data source serial port" choose the physical serial port your
devise is using
   (example - Com 4)
- under "settings" enter the serial device settings
- check mark for Redirect modem registers
- click on "Finish"
- for each of the programs that will use the serial port choose the
virtual serial port
   (example - Com 1)

Hello Jim,
Went through the setup like you instructed. No luck. my pc is a 64 bit and I do have the 64 bit version of Vpse. Will play around with it a see what I come up with.

Just an update on the Vpse problem. Fixed. With the help from this reflector, its now working great.
 I did do the serial port setup in the vpse software after I choose the vpse port..

Thanks guys...
