There is some sort of software out there that makes a virtual "Y" connected for a COM port, so two devices can share it. I used this on Windows 98 many years ago. I don't recall what it was called. I currently use the microKEYER from microHAM which gives two virtual COM ports from which you can access one radio using two different programs, like DX4WIN and WriteLog. It's not a cheap solution, and may be overkill for what you want, but it works very well. 73 - Jim AD1C -- Jim Reisert AD1C, <[email protected]>, http://www.ad1c.us ______________________________________________________________ Dx4win mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/dx4win Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
