[DogParkList] MicroHAM FTDI driver problem

[Larry West]

Ya know, maybe I just missed it, but I just re-installed the driver  
without the device plugged in, restarted, then plugged it in, and it's  
now working like a charm. Started talking to the 718 right away.

Out of curiosity, does anyone know if you can run two radios off one of  
these MicroHam devices? Using a splitter or something. I know the  
converter ICOM sells supports up to 4 (I think) radios.

Anyway, time to start playing around with it...

Thanks!
