Bill If you poit correct com port then try this.
Check "Set DTR high" or check "Set RTS high" or Check " USE CTS/RTS Hardware Handshaking"
This is sample settings for my TS480. It connects TS480 and PC via serial/USB adapter in my case.

Tom, apologies, I¡¯ve been having email problems and just found your post in the spam folder along with a heap of other stuff.?
I notice you¡¯re dabbling in FT8, I think I saw your call on the UDP Bandmap a while back, I¡¯ll add your call to my watch list and try and get you in the log. I haven¡¯t been on FT8 lately, I only managed 171 countries and then boredom set in hi.
By the way, I disagree with your assessment of Bob¡¯s favourite tipple, not that I¡¯m an expert, I think Famous Grouse is a really nice Scotch to be honest, smooth and goes down nicely with a plate of Haggis & Neeps. Having said that, if someone else is paying I¡¯ll settle for a Milton-Duff 12 Y.O., any day :-) Yours Aye 73 v Barry / gm4gif
