Configuring serial ports
Many third-party programs (such as MixW, Ham Radio Deluxe, DigiPan, FLdigi
and others) communicate your radio via one or more serial ports to provide CAT
system, PTT and CW switching, as well as the FSK output. The ShackLink program
creates a number of virtual serial ports which may be configured at the Serial tab.
Select virtual COM port numbers to be created for these functions:
Please notice that some older third-party programs are only supporting port
numbers less than COM10.
After pressing the Apply button, the settings are saved and the virtual serial ports
are created.
Other settings
Choose the General tab. You will be able to select the language used by the
ShackLink program. Check the “Run on Windows startup” box if you wish to start the
program automatically when your computer is started.
