I've tried first with WT opened and after rebooting the PC, only wint  
WT Rotator.
Nothing change.

In WT 4.1 Dev port 10 has never been used in my setup.

I've checked the COM10 Setup several times. The device in running  
correctly, the setup is OK, non problem found.
I've used the USB->RS232 adapter with a couple of other device (CAT  
Interface and PowerMAster SWR Wattmeter) and all works fine.

A confirmation of this, HRD and my Log use the automatic rotator  
control without problems.
