<DIV dir=ltr>Are you using a USB-to-Serial adapter for COM4? If it uses
the Prolific device driver, it probably won't be reliable. Replace the
USB-to-Serial adapter with one based on the FTDI or Eltima chipset, such as

<DIV>I used wtRotators from WinTest for over a year to trigger my Green
Heron (GH) controller. Hitting Ctrl-F12 would trigger the GH to turn
to the azimuth of the station on the log line. Then for some unknown
reason, and without any reconfiguration of anything, wtRotators failed to
trigger the GH. After some investigation and help from Jeff, W2FU, the
father of the GH, wtRotators started working again. Then about a week
later, it again failed. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>In advance of the WAE contest, I did not have a chance to
troubleshoot the problem, so I began the contest with the antenna
simply pointed to EU. Well into the contest, I thought I'd give it a
try by hitting Ctrl-F12 and, walla, the GH was triggered and the antenna
turned! Then, periodically during the balance of the contest,
sometimes, Ctrl-F12 would trigger the GH, and sometimes it
wouldn't. BTW, there are no cables being connected or disconnected or
any loose connections that I am aware of when wtRotators work or does not
work with the GH. I do not seem to have any stray RF in the
shack.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I am totally puzzled as to why this would be happening, and I would
appreciate any ideas. </DIV>
<DIV>Here is my installation:</DIV>
<DIV>K3 with Acom 2000A amp</DIV>
<DIV>Win XP</DIV>
<DIV>WinTest 4.10.0 - Radio control on Com5, Winkey on Com6</DIV>
