Install VSP Manager, create COM port pairs.
Ensure Physical COM PORTS not included in pairs! Run VSP Manager as Administrator and select
compatible to Windows XP SP3 in compatability options.
COM8 is physical COM Port. All others virtual pairs created with VSP Manager

Verify your PC does not have any hidden COM ports (Device Manager/Ports/Tab View/Show Hidden
Devices). Reallocate all hidden COM ports so no conflicts with VSP pairs ( COM9+COM10;
COM11+COM12, COM13+COM14).

Utility by Yuri, UT4LW for data exchange between ExpertSDR2 software via COM-port with Loggers, via telnet with
CW Skimmer, for profile adjustment etc. (User manual in Russian)
Instead of direct Ethernet cable ColibriDDC receiver can be connected with a Wi-Fi/4G or internet link. Software
required ExpertSDR2-RC (REMOTE CLIENT) at operating position and RPi3 or PC-based server with ExpertSDR-
RS (Remote Server) at receiving site.
Internet Connection
Close ColibriDDC software. Start ExpertSDR2-RC software
No changes made to K3/SDC settings. Enable CAT (same COM 5 Port), OmniRig and set remote server’s IP address
and port number.
