2096 and ARC96 Programming issue...

[mmtstc]

I am trying to program a 2096 using ARC96 v0.90 BETA build 2, on Thinkpad x61s running Windows Vista, but i am having trouble finding the com port that my 20-047 cable is connected to...

Until now, i had been using Pro96 to program the radio, and it was able to find com62 and use it to program just fine. In my device manager, it will only come up as com 62 even when i try to cascade it through my USB hub or directly connected to the laptop itself.

Is there a wat to change my com port ID to one fo the options the software gives me (com3 com4 com12 com13 com14 com15 or com16) or is it a Beta software bug?

In the device manager you can change the assigned comport, it must be lower than 17 else ARC96 can't 'talk' with the USB cable.

is there a way that i can change my comport?

Open the Windows device manager and look in the ports section.
Double click the 'USB serial port (comxx)'. (xx is probably 62 in your case).

This opens the device driver settings. Click Port Details tab and then Advanced.
Now you can select the Com port number. Select for example COM5.
Some ports may be marked 'in use' but you can ignore that.
Close all windows and device manager, restart ARC96 and then try again at COM5.

Gommert, you may wish to request an ARC96 Sticky for this group, keep up the good work. Another suggestion seperate talkgroups into sub banks ( as like with the scanner) & ability to check or uncheck to load

What exactly do you mean by 'ability to check or uncheck to load' , what you enter in the grids is loaded into the scanner, you can't upoad single banks etc.
