Dave, I got Commander connected to the radio with an off-the-shelp US

+ Good. Is Commander able to control and track your FT-710?

Dave. Sorry about the previous post.  I shouldn't type messages late at night when I'm tired...... Anyway, I got my Yaesu FT-710 AESS talking (2-way) to Commander with an ordinary off-the-shelf USB-A to USB-B cable using the  existing FT710 entry in Commander. I did have to download the recommended virtual com port driver for the FT-710 from their website (which installs in windows 10 automatically). However, now SpotCollector and WSJT-X are not populating with callsigns.  I have Spotcollector and WSJT-X interconnected. Any suggestions?

+ Step one is to properly configure WSJT-X to decode callsigns. All I can suggest is to review the WSJT-X User Guide:

I have WSJT-X working now.  I had a bad coax cable.  However SpotCollector is still not working. How do I fix it?

+ Start by describing exactly what "not working" means.

SpotCollector is running, I have 4 green lights on all my spot sources and a green light indicating WSJT-X is connected.  I don't have any spots in SC

That didn't help.  However now all my spot source LED's are blue and I have messages in each spot source window to see SpotCollector's errorlog.

+ OK. Attach the errorlog.txt file from your SpotCollector folder to an email message, and send the message to me via

Dave.
 I can't find spots.mdb to delete it. How do I get to it?  when I list the spotcollector directory it isn't there that I can see.
I haven't been a windows user for about 10 years.  I normally run Linux in my day to day life.

Help!
