I have a Puxing 888 VHF handheld. Have had it for about three years and managed to program back then with difficulty,, but have not been able to do it again since. I have a different computer now. Here is my immediate problem...
My Dell Latitude laptop has 4 USB ports, plus 2 9-pin serial (male and female) plus a printer connection.. old style. When I plug into these USB ports they come up as being Comports 5 to 8. Comport 1 is the male 9 pin serial port, which I use for scanner programming. The 888 as far as I know has to use USB.
In the software for the 888, when I bring up the comport setup all I get is a box with a selection available between Comport 1 and 3. Comports 2 and 4 also appear in this box but are greyed out (dim) and not actually available for me to select... But no sign of anything above 4.
So how can I get the computer and software to match comport numbers?
