    'PortName' cannot be set while the port is open

    in Bugs - Fixed

    Good Morning - Running Version 3.6.5. on Windows 10. Using a FT-847 with OmniRig and a MicroHam USB Interface 3 and the MicroHam USB Router software. VarAc is working great and I am able to make contacts with no issues. All features are working great! That said I get the following message at start up. 'PortName' cannot be set while the port is open. at System.IO.Ports.SerialPort.set_PortName(String value)

    The start up log is below.


    Any suggestions?

    Thank you for reporting. I identified the bug.

    The program tried to change the active RTS/DTR port while it was already in use by itself :)

    Will be fixed in V3.7

    I would like to send you a beta version so you can test it and make sure that:

    1. You dont see this error anymore

    2. I did not ruin anything with the RTS/DTR PTT while fixing this bug :)


    Send me an email to iradirad@gmail.com and I'll send you a download link.
