I am having an issue with the RigExpert SD USB interface and DX4WIN. I have the RigExpert connected between a USB port on my pentium 3.0 ghz running WIndows XP Home and an FT 1000MP mKV. I finally got all functionality working through DX4WIN -- PSK31, CW, MMTTY and the FT 1000MP CAT all work great. EXCEPT if I turn off the FT1000 and then some time later go to the Radio menu of DX4WIN and start the radio. Blue Screen on Windows. If I start and stop the radio -- same thing. The Blue screen talks about ks.sys which is the kernal streams driver used for i/o streams and audio.
The RigExpert only presents one virtual com port and I have it set to COM 8. In DX4WIN I have the CAT set to COM 8 and the CW interface set to COM 8. I think here in lies the problem (but I'm not sure). If I disable the CW interface the issue goes away. But the RigExperrt guys tell me this should support DX4WIN and all its functionality so apparently I am doing something wrong. Does anyone know if DX4WIN can use the same comm port for both the CAT interface and the CW interface or is this an absolute conflict. I think the CW functionality just uses the DTR pin.

I have an MFJ-1279 as the interface. This week, I switched to an Icom IC-718. I have changed the settings in the MFJ-1279 and seem to have all the capability I should have. I have been able to copy PSK signals regularly. However, after the first time I transmit, the sound card locks up and I have to reboot. I did not have this issue with my TR-4 or the TS-430. Any thoughts or suggestions would be most appreciated. Thanks and Gud DX AJ8B => Bill From [EMAIL PROTECTED] Thu Aug 31 00:34:16 2006 From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Kostas SV1DPI) Date: Thu Aug 31 00:35:06 2006 Subject: [Dx4win] DX4WIN and the Rig Expert References: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Dear Dave I had a homemade interface where i used pins 2,3,5 to control the mark v, pin 7 (rts),5 for ptt and pin 4(dtr),5 for cw keyinf from the same com port. The general idea had come after reading something simiral for 1000mp in va3cr web page. No problem at all. Dx4win works perfect. This moment i have a so2r device (w5xd keyer) and i use this interface like cw keyer only, as dx4win can't work with w5xd. So i have not tested with the last version (tested with 6.xx). But i don't believe that there is a problem. I am afraid that the problem is in Rigexpert virual com program.
