Just a simple question. Are there other Virtual Com Port programs that will work with ESDR2 and the MB1? I know there is VSPE, but just wondered if there is others that may work just as well?
Thanks!

Hans,
Thanks for the suggestion.
Are you currently using this COM0COM?
I see some video's on youtube but they are only creating 2 virtual ports, 5 and 6.
I know there are multiple entries that one has to make with VSPE.
I guess I'm wondering if COM0COM is going to play well with Windows 10, 1903 version.

COM0COM is fine with W10 1903. The disadvantage of it is that you cannot do port splitting. So if you intend having multiple CAT enabled software running then it is not for you. But just for COM pairs it is ok. The paid version of COM0COM, Serial Port Emulator does have port splitting but is far more expensive than VSPE. Since VSPE works well in the latest Windows 10, and is reasonably priced, I do not see the justification for spending more on different software. But each to their own of course.

I just installed the latest version of VSPE.
But, I had a bat file that was working without a hitch.
Now, for some reason, that does not run.
I have the file Configure.VSPE out on the C:\ Directory
I can double click the icon on the desktop but then have to open up the file and start it.
Also, now when I run N3FJP and N1MM and I depress the button to send my callsign I get a bunch of clicks instead of a nice side tone.
When I use my Key, no problem, just with N3FJP and N1MM.
Any ideas how I can fix this?
Thanks!
Mark

Well, I got N3FJP and N1MM working now where I get sidetone.
The software was Com 10 and it should have been Com 11.
Once I changed that, all was OK.
I should have looked at the directions better.
Still having an issue with the configure.vspe auto loading with the settings I chose.
Any help with that would be very much appreciated.

Are you trying to autoload via Task Scheduler or a batch file in the startup folder?

The UMA used to describe the Task Scheduler method but many users reported to me its unreliability. So a long time ago I changed to the startup folder method which is simple, works flawlessly, and is described in the VSPE section.

Sorry, I do not understand the question. You may write in Finnish if it helps you and I will use a translator.

If it is only the autostart of VSPE that concerns you, see the latest version of the UMA.

Quess you remember that i couldnt put VSPE config in start, because i use Finnish version of Win10 and it doesnt save config.bat right due wrong character set in Finnish version
So i used computer timing tasks to start VSPE
Now problem is that config.vspe need to be started after vspe is started first
In earlier win.version i could start just config.vspe direct, but now this version of windows doesnt regognize config direct (works only from desktop)
I have latest vspe installed.

Yes Arno - sorry I forgot about your Finnish character set problem.

So you cannot use a .bat file and you have to somehow start config.vspe direct. Which was possible until Microsoft changed things in the new W10 1903. Well done, Microsoft.

OK - so I do not know the answer but I will investigate it today and let you know if there is a solution.

OK Arno - this is what you do:

1 You have to use Task Scheduler but you do not use a Desktop shortcut.
2 As you already have it, the config.vspe file should be located in the Windows root directory c:\config.vspe

3 Open Task Scheduler and go to Create Basic Task.
4 Give the task a name - VSPE, click Next
5 When I log on, click Next
6 Start a program, click Next
7 Browse to the location of the VSPE exe file: C:\Program Files (x86)\Eterlogic.com\Virtual Serial Ports Emulator (64 bit)\VSPEmulator.exe
8 In the box below where it says Add arguments (optional) enter -minimize -hide_splash c:/config.vspe

9 Click Next and then Click Finish

10. Reboot - VSPE will automatically load. There is no splash screen and the GUI is minimised. You can see it running in the System Tray, from where you can open the GUI if you want to.

Yes I think you have to completely uninstall. You can save your settings by keeping a copy of the ESDR2 folder somewhere and either delete or rename the existing folder. The UMA shows you how.

Revo Uninstaller software is very good at making a complete uninstall.

Then reinstall and run ESDR2. It will start with default settings. See if it is ok and runs more than 5 minutes. If ok, then close it and reinstate the ESDR2 folder from the backup copy. Run ESDR2 again. If now it does not run past 5 minutes, you know your options file is corrupted, in which case go back to default settings and reconfigure.

If all of the above does not solve the issue, you will need to look in Windows Event Manager for the cause. In the Application list, you should see an entry for ExpertSDR2.exe, like the example for Swisslog in the picture below. Make a picture like mine and send it Roman directly at EE for his assistance.
