    FT-847 working with V3.4 - Missing Port Name?

    in VarAC discussion forum


    I am happy to report I am now have the the ability to use DTR/RTS PTT control and CAT control via OmniRig with my FT-847 using Version 3.4!! Thank You!!! That said I am getting the following message in the VarAc log. It does not appear to be impacting the operation of VarAc.


    28/03/2022 16:39:25 - Starting VarAC

    28/03/2022 16:39:26 - OmniRig: Connecting to OmniRig...

    28/03/2022 16:39:26 - OmniRig: Connected successfully to OmniRig!

    28/03/2022 16:39:26 - OmniRig: RIG1 Selected

    28/03/2022 16:39:38 - VarAC base directory: C:\VarC\\

    28/03/2022 16:41:09 - The PortName cannot be empty.

    Parameter name: PortName

    at System.IO.Ports.SerialPort.set_PortName(String value)

    at VarAC.VarAC.Load_configuration()

    28/03/2022 16:45:17 - The PortName cannot be empty.

    Parameter name: PortName

    at System.IO.Ports.SerialPort.set_PortName(String value)

    at VarAC.VarAC.Load_configuration()


    Any idea what is the cause of this message?


    Thank you again for the excellent upgrade!

    Yes. to suppress the message, under settings, select for a moment the CAT option and select just something on the PORT drop down. VarAC doesn't like it is empty even though you don't use it.
