I have a WX5D keyer that I use with WriteLog. Under WriteLog both the HF Radio and the W5XD Keyer use the same serial port. I see that DXBASE requires a port for the HF radio and another port for the WX5D keyer. This presents a cable swapping problem when switching from DXBASE to WriteLog ... or am I missing something here. Anyone been through this one and come up with a better way?

Thanks for all the responses to my original message (above). I should have been more clear in my posting :) Let me add the following: Yes, it is clear in the instructions that DXBASE requires a serial port for the keyer separate from the HF radio serial port. I have more than enough serial ports available to support the HF radio and the external keyer etc. For purposes of discussion let's assume the following: Using WriteLog Com1 = External keyer and HF radio . (Keyer plugs into Com1 and HF Radio plugs into keyer) Com2 = not used Using DXBASE Com1 = External keyer Com2 = HF Radio When I switch from using WriteLog to DXBASE or vice versa it seems that I will have to move the cable that feeds the HF radio from the keyer to the Com2 port and vice versa. Has someone figured out a better way to do this? Thanks for reading from Joe.
