[Dx4win] keying problem in Africa
I am trying to help a friend in Africa. He currently uses Logger32 and he is all interfaced with his Icom 7700 to send cw. He wants to purchase dx4win but 1st wants to get the cw keyer working. The cw keying via K/B in logger32 works fine. He is using serial port CW keying to a DB9, wired as in the help files diagram in DX4win. Unfortunately He can't seem to get the correct settings to key in DX4win CW window. What on earth could I suggest he looks at next. He has tried every option on the DTR/RTS parameters (cw keying/PTT control) and just gets at best a continuous tone no cw, when trying to send. Id appreciate a series of questions you guys would think useful from this point forward to help home in on the problem. Bearing in mind Logger32 works, I'm assuming it can only be a software setting somewhere. I'm a DX4WIN user, and have never used logger32, but downloaded it and had it working in a minute, buy just copying my DX4WIN settings. Doing this the other way round in Africa, doest seem to work. Help appreciated.

[Dx4win] Keying problem in Canada
While we are on the subject of CW... I'm using a MicroKeyer (Winkey) and it works perfectly with Writelog and Logic... ( and a few other programs I have tried) but I have a problem with DX4Win. When I start D4W it completely screws up the keyer... I have found that I can usually restore sanity to it by going to the Microkeyer router program and changing something in Winkey Configuration, then changing it back. It seems to force a reset. Annoying though... Has anyone else encountered this issue? Any suggested solutions?

Re: [Dx4win] Keying problem in Canada
Setup here is almost the same except for a couple of checkboxes about paddle dog and paddle echo... whatever that is...I did notice an obvious error I had overlooked... I had Router set to Iambic-B ( correct) and DX4Win set to Iambic-A (wrong). Maybe that was causing some issues. DX4Win is the only program I was using with its own set-up dialog. Not really necessary or desirable with the MicroKeyer. Thanks for the help... Mel, VE2DC Cliff Ahrens wrote: Hi Mel. I'm running the micro Keyer II with DX4WIN 7.07.02 and Winkey works fine. Here's a PDF file of micro Keyer DX4WIN setup instructions which I followed, and it works fine for me. You might compare the settings with yours.

[Dx4win] Keying problem
Hi, I am using the printer port on my computer for CW keying during contests. On 20 meters I am having some sort of problem. When I try and send CW via the computer it locks the radio into transmit without sending anything, just a carrier. As soon as I pull the cable out of the keying jack, it stops. I am sure it is a RF problem somehow, as it only does it with the amp in line running 1KW. 200 watts out of the radio it is fine. Any suggestions on a remedy?

John, Yep--RF on the keying line. Try putting some ferrite beads on the line near the PC end and it should go away! 73 de Tom, K4NR - Original Message - From: John Kjos [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: DX4WIN dx4win@mailman.qth.net; RFI [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Sunday, February 22, 2004 5:07 PM Subject: [Dx4win] Keying problem Hi, I am using the printer port on my computer for CW keying during contests.
