Part 1 (of ?): Initial Trial using Harris RPA Software to Program an RF-5800H-MP

Using a virtual machine (VMWare) of a windows XP computer running on my Windows 10 PC, this is my first experiment with connecting the RPA (Radio Programming Application) to the radio and loading in some programming. I use a USB to serial adapter for this. I had to re-install the driver to have it attach the driver to COM2 instead of COM1. I suspect I could have made this work by simply re-configuring COM1 on the VM guest instance to use the COM2 of the host. But I just installed the Harris driver in the VM guest instance to add COM2. This video is not all that informative, but as I learn more about this I will do other videos. Enjoy 73 Eugene W2HX
