I had hoped to check-in this week, using the radio, but...
?
...I'm running into problems, with setting-up VARA-FM.
?
I get VU-meter response to the rig's Volume control, after opening-up the Squelch.? Rig is Yaesu FT-2500M, and the custom cable I bought from Digirig seems to be built correctly (I've beeped it out, and compared to documentation found on the Internet, for my specific radio).
?
However, the x-mit functionality does not seem to work (PTT wire in that cable is not being triggered by the Digirig--or, at least, the radio never goes into transmit mode).? I believe the problem is that VARA-FM is not recognizing the COM port (I get a message:? "Unable to open radio serial port COM1.? May be in use by another application.").? I also tried VOX, but that put up a window that was a dead-end and said "Signalink TX Properties", with no enabled functionality/buttons on it.
?
The USB-attach does seem to sort-of work, in that I see a new device come and go, in Windows 10 Device Manager, under "Audio inputs and outputs".? It is called "Digirig (USB PnP Sound Device)"--I might have renamed it from "Generic..." or something like that, early-on, yesterday, when I first plugged-in the USB-C cable from the PC, to the Digirig.
?
...Not sure what to try next, or what to expect, or even how to debug this, further!? "Help!?"
