Hi Mal,

I use a usb to rs232 adapter cable.

Mine is a Gembird UAS111 & I purchased it from a local PC outlet in Blackburn.
The makers website is www.gembird.eu

The ideal chip for compatibility is a Prolific PL-2303.

No other progs running, meter mid scale, cpu 2 Ghz seems ok, sound card CMI 8738/C3DX AUDIO DEVICE (C-MEDIA)  NO CONFLICTS

There seems to be a rx decode problem although the sigs appear on wfall

Win7 unltimate

Mal,

 

What  sound card  are you  using  ? 

 

Audio  meter  should be   round  mid   scale  

 

CPU  should  NOT be in the  RED

 

there  is no  problem  with the  level  of the signal

 

Any other  prog's  running  ? 

 

73- G,

hi GRAHAM
