ANAN 7000DLE - No Com ports available in Thetis for CAT
Posted: Sun Dec 30, 2018 11:39 pm
When I installed Thetis and upgraded my firmware, the WSJT-X connection stopped working. Prior to the upgrade, I was able to use VAC for audio and rig control. Now I am able to see and hear the traffic but I am not able to see any COM ports in the CAT tab of Thetis that would allow me to use the TS-2000 proxy.
Despite the problem occurring after the upgrade, I assumed it was a configuration error since the WSJT-X connection I had was tenuous, at best. Until today, COM ports 5 and 6 would come up, whether they were activated in VAC or not. I noticed that these ports were listed as Standard Serial over Bluetooth link ports until I turned off bluetooth on my computer. Then they no longer showed up as port options under CAT Control.
Here is what I have done to try to straighten out my COM ports:
- tried running com0com. Uninstalled it and installed
- VAC with Omnirig. Uninstalled both applications and installed
- VMB. Uninstalled that along with WSJT-X, reset (and created a new) Thetis database,
- uninstalled all COM ports within Windows 10 and reset the COM port registry back to 0 and replaced my ethernet cable.
I have reinstalled WSJT-X and VAC with 10 virtual cables, using lines 1&2 for WSJT-X. The installation looks clean but nothing is available in CAT Control.
Am I missing a corrupted file somewhere or did I just miss something really obvious?
Thank you,
