Virtual Serial Port Driver PRO

[w7cma]

I am a feed provider and wanted to control the BCD996P2 and monitor the audio over the Internet. The problem was that RadioFeed ( using channel tags) and ProScan both wanted to use the one com port I have available. So I could not do both at the same time. The solution was very simple. Virtual Serial Port Driver PRO is a vertual com port driver that allows you to share one com port with more than one device or program. It is very simple to use but filled with features. I can now connect to ProScan over IP and controll the scanner plus monitor the audio using ProScan client and still have channel tags. When I add a second scanner all I have to do is generate more virtual com ports and connect the scanner. I am writing this in case I can help someone with this problem. If you find this helpful post a comment.

Here is the way it looks when it is all done. And a link to the software. I hope this will make it more clear as to how it all works.

Virtual Serial Port Driver - create and emulate virtual COM port





Here is RadioFeed on Vertual port #1



Here you can see ProScan running on vertual port #2



Here you can see the native serial port com6 and the the 2 Eltima Virtual Ports com1 and com2 on Device Manager



Here you can see native Com port 6 being split into com1 and com2.

Of course this becomes irrelevant on the SDS 200 line. But, could be useful for older models using serial ports.
