OK here is the (hopefully) temporary workaround for those of you who
have the latest Winkey USB 3.1 which DOES NOT (yet?) work with DX4WIN
The cliff notes version is "down-rev" the WINKEY USB firmware from
31.02 to 30.10 the downside of this is largely the loss of the RTTY
features in 31. For now I can live with this. You will also need to
download TWO versions of WKTOOLS (tools4.3 works with 30.10 firmware and
tools5.1 for 31.02 firmware.) you will need both tool kits to get back
and forth. Also a good idea to unplug the USB cable after changing
firmware for a few seconds so the drivers can reload
Many thanks to K1EL at WINKEY for his prompt replies to my questions and
the info necessary to do the reverse upgrade. Once the older firmware
was loaded in the WINKEY , DX4WIM recognized the WINKEYER without a hitch.
So far the folks at DX4WIN have not responded to acknowledge the problem
. So when if ever there will be a fix that will allow return to later
version of WINKEY firmware is unknown for now
Also many thanks to Max N5HNJ who set me on the right track to get the
information I needed and provided a few tips that even K1EL forgot to
mention about the need for two different tool kits depending on the
firmware.
