Good afternoon,
This might be better off in another forum, but since my question deals with MT63, I thought some of you might have some ideas.
I participate in Navy-MArine Corps MARS (NNN0XPDT), and just upgraded my equipment to include digital capability.
Currently, my equipment consists of: Icom IC-718 HF Transceiver (with MARS mod), MFJ 993B Intellituner, Inverted-vee dipole antenna (apex at 35'), and most recently, the West Mountin Radio RigBlaster Plug & Play. I am using IZ8BLY MT-63 software.
I have had no trouble receiveing and decoding MARS traffic just using the soundcard, but now that I have the RigBlaster Plug & Play, I am trying to get my rig to transmit. The problem seems to be that when I installed my MT-63 software, it assigned the comm port as Com 9. Well, MT-63 only goes up to Com 4, or com 6 I think (I don't have the software up and running in front of me). The question is: Is there a way to either re-assign my hardware (the RigBlaster Plug & Play) to another com port, or is there a way to make the software recognize additional com ports up to com 9?
This is my first time working with digital modes (ham and MARS), so this is new territory for me. Any ideas?
Thanks!
