Good questions Al.  What say Chris?

Radio and Navigator configured. All other programmes working good.

What COM port do they use for the radio port?  What is* Navigator CAT* set
to in the DM-780 software?  See Page 1 of:

WinTest will not let me change from COM 3 to the one I need to!

Are you saying that COM3 is the *only* COM port that is not "Grayed out" in
the Win-Test SETUP menu (aka "Configure Interfaces")?  The COM port defined
as Navigator CAT port cannot be set to "Radio 1" in the drop-down list?

This is a USB device like a microHAM that appears to provide several virtual
COM ports, and you connect a cable from the DB-25 connector on the Navigator
to your radio's CAT connector.

 Just setting up wintest on my new lap top for use with my FT2000 and

Since it's a new laptop I assume it has no physical serial ports (no COM1 or
COM2).

Can you please send me a screen shot of your Win-Test SETUP screen?  If only
COM3 is "black", then somehow Win-Test is not compatible with the virtual
serial ports provided by this device (or the driver or "router" software was
not running *before *you started Win-Test).

What version of Windows are you using?  Do you see all the Navigator virtual
serial ports listed under Windows Device Manager under "Eltima Virtual
Serial Ports" or similar?  (Start | Run | devmgmt.msc )
