[Dx4win] PCIe LPT port problem solved!

I am pleased to report that using the suggestion put forward by Larry, K8UT earlier today I now have LPT port keying fully operational on my new 64-bit Win7 machine. The solution was so obvious it was hard to see --simply enter the odd looking address range in the portmap.ini file and save the file

I think their tech guy may have been blowing smoke, Paul(s) - I have a StarTech PEX1P PCIe Parallel Adapter Card - 1 Port, SPP, EPP, ECP (S262-8032) that I just got from Tigerdirect for a new Win7 PC. While I haven't tried to use it with the antenna switching control side of DX4WIN, it works f

While I can't comment on the PCIe-LPT card directly, I have heard that PIEXX makes a USB-to-LPT interface that actually works. They're the same folks who made the computer control interface for the Kenwood TS-930. -- Jim Reisert AD1C, , http://www.ad1c.us _
