Make sure
- Commander's interrogation is enabled, with an interval of 200 ms - the serial port's RTS is set to "ON" - the radio and Commander are set to the same baud rate - you're using the correct "variety" of serial cable (straight-through vs. null modem) - there are no bent pins Otherwise, there's a hardware problem. 73, Dave, AA6YQ From: dxlab@...

I would unplug both from the PC, watching device
driver, then plug the 850 in to see what port it shows up on DD.

Re: SC SQL Filter Error
Dave AA6YQ
Thanks for the errorlog.txt file, Mike. It shows that the SQL filter you
have specified on the Audio Alarm tab of SpotCollector's Configuration window is invalid. Here's an example: (CALLSIGN='EA/DL2DXAP') and (FREQUENCY=18085) and (MODE='CW') and (SPOTTIME=#2017-07-23 10:30:13#) and (k5p) The last two words "and (k5p)" are what makes it invalid; I suggest that you remove them. 73, Dave, AA6YQ

Re: Commander not closing down from Launcher.
Dave AA6YQ
The DXLab Launcher directs other DXLab applications to terminate by sending them a message via Windows. If the Launcher isn't able to direct Commander to terminate, but Commander does terminate if you click the X button in its Main window's upper-right corner, the Windows may not be conveying the "terminate" message from the Launcher to Commander. Reboot Windows to see if this corrects the situation.
