COM ports have nothing to do with it. The raw audio comes in
through the mic or line input and JVComm32 demodulates it in
software.

Charlie, You need to connect the input to the computer to a com port.
This must be a serial port or a pcmcia serial card set up as a com
port. You can use a USB connection but you will need a USB to serial
adapter and software. I don't believe you can make a com port read on
you microphone jack on your computer. Chuck

I have just installed JVComm32 and have attempted to capture extremely
strong wefax transmissions...no joy. The radio is an Icom M802; the
computer is a brand new Dell laptop with Windows XP Home. As before, I
connected the output of the earphone jack to the microphone jack on the
laptop, went thru the minimal configuration process in JVComm32, and
expected to see the fax signal on the spectrum display...nothing but
noise.

On review, I realized that part of the configuration was to declare
which
Com Port is connected to the sound card...since I am using the mic
input, I
selected "None".

Any ideas?
