Found a software utility that can remove "Portxxx In Use" and allow Windows to reuse the port with another attached device. That solved my issue.
Thank you. Spike N4EBF |

I noticed in a previous message you said you could see the GPS data stream in putty. Be sure you have closed that com port in putty or shut putty down so aprsis32 can open it.

The "NMEA Open" means it is trying to open the port.

Are you sure something else doesn't already have the port open? Or you don't have an RF GPS port enabled? Rob KB8RCO

Can COM Port numbers be changed in WIN 10? Spike N4EBF |
