Have you tried different COM ports? COM1 isn't the same on every computer.

 

[rayzor_uk]

yes m8 tried them all

It's possible that other devices in his computer have all the available COM ports tied up. A dialup modem would be a likely culprit, if he has one. You can change the port a modem is using through Control Panel as long as you don't cause a conflict with another device. I don't have one though, so I can't guide you through it right now.

Try going to Start->Settings->Control Panel->System->Device Manager

Somewhere in the list there should be Ports (COM and LPT), you can see there what COM ports the computer has. You can also try changing the settings of the ports.


Are you using an actual serial cable or some sort of USB adaptor? The USB ones sometimes don't work right on everybody's computer.

Why are you selling your 8200? That's a great radio

Sounds like the cable isn't seating correctly. Try it with the plug not quite fully pushed home.
