I am having trouble setting up a Yaesu Mark 5 and DX4Win on a new Windows 7 computer. I had a discussion about this with Paul KK4HD this morning and he suggested this mailing list.
Specifically: 1. On Preferences > radio, the radio port is computer com1 (settings of 8 bits parity 2) connected to the CAT rs-232 receptacle on the Yeasu. It frequently times out, usually when I am entering a qso. 2. On Preferences > cw, cw keying is set to dtr and ptt is set to rts on com1 (again). Is it correct to use com1 for both the radio port and cw keying and ptt? 3. For some reason the cw keyboard types the message being sent with the function key (example: cq cq) but there is no rf output. This forces me to send my call every time instead of simply pressing the F1 key to send N2LA - very cumberson. I also have a Rigblaster Plus but seem to have problems hooking it up. If you have any ideas on how to get this equipment working please let me know. If you want to talk about any ideas my cell phone is 512-301-7666. Socotra is due to wind up in 9 days so time is very short. Please help!
