I'm curious, What will happen if you set WL for rig as Com 1 and Keyer for Com 2.
In WL I have rig on com 2 and cw/rtty/ptt on com 5 This is the same setup I use for DXBase, though I don't use the W5XD keyer. Or does the W5XD have to be on the same comport as the rig for WL? ----- Original Message ----- From: "Joe Young" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Saturday, April 17, 2004 8:08 AM Subject: [DXBase] W5XD External Keyer More > I have a WX5D keyer that I use with WriteLog.
