TS480-SAT with serial to USB converter - worked fine with Ham Radio deluxe in Windows 7. I have carried out varioius checks as suggested in the forum.

TS480 Problems
Set everything as default. except the serial speed. See if that works.

Tom,
Thanks for replying, I have tried that but no use. I will try again though and get back.
Charlie.
Hi Charlie,
are you member of dialout group? That will be the problem.
Use
sudo useradd -G dialout yourusername
after that, please log out nad log in again. It should work.

Petr,
Thanks for your reply, I do appear to be a member - see the top of my post:
charlie@charlie-Lappie ~ $ sudo useradd -G dialout charlie useradd: user 'charlie' already exists
Charlie.
Petr & Tom,
Now working! Using the command above did not actually add me to the dialout group so I had to go into Administration > User and groups and add me there (this is in Linux Mint), log out/log in and CQRlog was communicating with the TS480.
Thanks!
Charlie.
See if this works
My settings for the TS-480 are now as this:
Rig ID model: 214Device: /dev/ttyS0 (because I have connected the radio to the computer with RS232, if you use USB, then the settings should be: /dev/ttyS1)Poll rate: 125Port number: 4532Serial speed: 9600 ( make the same settings in the radio, under meny nr.56)all other settings: default
The very low poll rate make changing of the freq/band without delays.
The rest should be default.

Tom,
Thanks! I will try those settings, it will be Thursday before I get a chance and I'll get back then.

For further refference......
This comment is wrong......
Use : sudo addgroup <your user name> dialout
useradd is to add a new user to the system :)
good luck

Alex,
Yes, I realised that - eventually - by looking at at Users & Groups in Adminstration.
