I just got my digirig mini plugged into my PC (Windows 10 x64) and I am trying to get it from “audio inputs and outputs” to "ports (COM and LPT) to make pinpoint APRS recognize it. Any ideas or tips? (digirig is under Microphone (4- USB Audio Device) and Speakers (4- USB Audio Device)

i’m not up to date on everything in the digirig store

do you mean the digirig lite ?

if so, there is no comport in the lite

if you mean the digirig mobile (with the current production case), have you downloaded/installed the cp201 vcom driver?

good luck  
🙂

Yes, I was trying to use the digirig lite for Pinpoint APRS, Pinpoint needs a COM port, the digirig lite only appears as a audio device, not as a com port, did I miss something in the setup?

from the store page:

## Description

A minimalistic version of Digirig with the same audio code as [regular model of the interface](https://digirig.net/product/digirig-mobile/) but without serial port.

* * *

the digirig lite has NO comport

so the options for PTT with the digirig lite are:  
GPIO (some programs define it as ‘RA-BOARD’ or ‘CM108’ in the ptt settings) OR  
VOX (the digirig lite has an onboard vox circuit so you wouldn’t turn on vox on the radio itself)

good luck
