Hola Luc,

I do not think you can do what you want with just one cable.  I
believe that you will need a separate COM port (could be a virtual
port with a USB cable) and a CW keying interface connected to the CW
Key input of the FT-991.  Something like this (there must be less
expensive options out there):

DX4WIN does not support sending CAT commands to the FT-991A in order to send CW.

Re: [Dx4win] Lock Windows In Place

Are you saying that if you move that window, and then re-start DX4WIN,
that the window will be somewhere different the next time?

My Callsign/MGR Lookup window always starts in the same place on my
screen, after typing F3.  It does not appear automatically when you
start DX4WIN.  It appears that the F3 window will only open when the
QSO window is visible (a log is loaded), and the QSO window is active
(receiving mouse/keyboard input).  So it may be something that DX4WIN
*could* do with some additional programming, but it doesn't do that
today.

Regarding the Calendar, there is a check box on the QSO tab of
Preferences that says, "Check Calendar at startup". Is that box
checked?

I turned on the Master Calls window, and when I restarted DX4WIN, that
window was in the same place as the last time.   So I don't see any
issue there.
