Mel, Thanks for the note - and I agree that, theoretically, you should be able to key the rig from the same port that you use for CW (at least that's what the config menu says ;-). I am only using 1 rig here, so my "work-around #1" _should_ work.
However, in DX4WIN 6.02, the software has a bug. If you configure to key the rig in CW from a COM port, PSK is also keyed from the same COM port. If you configure to key the rig in CW from the LPT port, PSK keying via the same LPT port does not work. -larry K8UT ----- Original Message ----- From: "Mel Martin (VE2DC)" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "'Larry Gauthier'" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Cc: "'DX4Win Reflector'" <dx4win@mailman.qth.net> Sent: Sunday, March 16, 2003 3:24 PM Subject: RE: [Dx4win] PSK31 config change in DX4WIN 6.02? > Hi Larry...
