Hi Bob - I see by your posts on the N1MM Logger group that the LPT port address on your laptop was indeed not correctly set just as I had conjectured and, that once set, it solved your basic LPT keying problem! Ha - my neck is still in tact! Thank you very much :-)
As to the connection of the keying diodes and the correct setting of the K2 software, I note that Rich KE0X has already answered that one quite nicely - no need for germanium diodes - the 1N4148 silicon diodes should work well - that is what I'm using. Following his directions, your system should be working well at this point. Glad you are now up and running. Have fun es 73 --Don N4HH K2/100 #2028 KAT100, KX1 #243, etc, etc, ----- Original Message ----- From: "Donald Nesbitt" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Bob Tellefsen" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; "Elecraft" <[email protected]> Sent: Sunday, August 29, 2004 11:11 AM Subject: Re: [Elecraft] N1MM Donald Nesbitt wrote: <Snip> >The only thing I can come up with would be to make >sure the "Other" block is > checked in the Logger set-up - just opposite the LPT >port that you have > selected - AND - that the proper CW/Ptt Port Address >is entered in the > window.
