I have purchased an assembled unit from Bill Shurvinton and I am having trouble getting my desktop or laptop to communicate with it. After two days I have now found the install wizzard and have got the tuning prog to run but comes up with unable to open com1, unknown serial port. I have tried to open hyperterminal and all it seems to relate to in there is modem type dial up. Could it be that the chip needs the firmware loaded, Ive tried to do this again without success.
I have searched through past froum topics and notice many people had this error message but still cant work out whats going wrong.
Any help would be much appreciated as I'm pulling my hair out in frustration at the moment.
Also has anyone got Bill Shurvingtons Email addr.

I have now proved that I can connect using hyperterminal and it returns a character on power up and a stream of data when I send C. I assume this means the cable and MJL unit is OK. Any suggestions on how to sort out the comm port ?

Sounds like you may have a modem or something else hogging the port. Open you modem software and see if you can move it to com 3. Also, Ctrl-Alt-Delete and see if you have any programs running in the background that may be interfering with that port.
