RS232 ... I haven't used that protocol since the 1990s !thanks for reply..
yes. and i use a rs232 to control the radio. Software/Radio Control -
yer phil that is what i thought. the laptop i lent has been given me now. so i wont mess with that. i got a old laptop.very cheap. no wifi or lan,that will do just for radio control. i will look on fleabay for a 7disk,or even a xp and license...... ta for help.RS232 ... I haven't used that protocol since the 1990s !
I would think for rs232 you will need to use dual boot of Win10 and Win 7 so some serious googling needed to ensure a successful set up.
Microsoft don't support Win7 so you may need to install it from a disk. The other alternative is to dual boot with Linux which does support radio apps.
Maybe an easier way is to buy or obtain an old Win7 laptop and use that just for your radio apps etc.
the hardware is ok, win 10 software. even with a usb to rs232 converter does not work....the programs. are for win xp software.RS232 was a cable interface not a protocol. As long as the two devices it connects have the socket it should work. As to the software that allows them to talk to each other, that's a different matter.
ta. it just comes up with wont run in this ver of winYou can try running the old software in compatability mode but what does the software do? It might be worth trying to replace that.
On the other hand here's someone's idea of a solution for replacing a paritcular kind of RS232/USB driver. https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us...0/0a4f8e48-7135-4434-9d10-349c9ce87fcf?page=3
Rob, I’m not sure now. A few years ago I had to pay for mine. It seems like there is some charge for most things these days!Does anyone know if you can upgrade from Win 8.1 to Win 10 for free? Without losing files/photos on computer? It's not for me just trying to help a friend. Regards, RobT
whis mine was. its only 5mps,.... a load of pants.postofficeI regularly check my broadband speed which is on the low side of around 14mbps. I thought i would try changing the channel on my router to see if it made any difference. I tried channels through one to ten with no difference in speed but when i tried the last channel ( 11 ) it shot up to 34mbps which was a nice surprise & i`m sticking with that.
.... channel ?It pays to avoid using a channel which a neighbour is using because in rare cases there can be slight interference. My laptop and iPad are both using channel 36 at present and wi-fi speed is same as the incoming broadband speed.
