[Dx4win] NEW COMPUTERS USB INTERFACE
Hello Oms I bought the micro Ham device. This does rig interface, CW keying, and I believe supports data modes also, but I haven't used it yet. It's a bit expensive, but it is well made; I bought the lead option also, which is quite heavy duty, and a lot of care is taken to minimise RFI (ferrites fitted as standard) Whether it is important in DX4WIN I am not sure, but the MicroHam also has a PTT control out. The only problem I have found in Writelog, is that if you set PTT control in CW (useful if you want to avoid hot switching, but I never bothered in any other program), the first character in CW sometimes gets corrupted. I believe it is a timing problem in the MicroHam. I turned off PTT control altogether, all is fine. Haven't checked this when using DX4Win, but I expect the problem will be the same. 73 Dave G3NKC -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of PY5EG Sent: 18 February 2006 10:27 To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]'; Dx4win@mailman.qth.net Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [Dx4win] NEW COMPUTERS USB INTERFACE Hi Friends: I'm a frequent user of DX4WIN and Writelog interfaced by old lap tops with COM ports ,sending CW by LPT1. Some of those lap tops are in the end of its lives. I have the intention to use newest version of lap tops, and all of them with USB ports and some without a parallel port LPT. I'm sure that several of you already faced this problem before and I kindly ask your opinion on what is the best existent solution for it.

[Dx4win] NEW COMPUTERS USB INTERFACE
I have an IBM Thinkpad P4 running DX4WIN and N1MM. I purchased a USB to 2 serial port converter from http://www.easysync-ltd.com/ Works like a champ and I haven't noticed and timing problems. Run CW from the Thinkpad serial and rig control from the converted USB to serial port. Running TelNet also. 73, Art W6KY www.w6ky.com ps, think it was abt $25.. Can't beat the price! --- PY5EG [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi Friends: I'm a frequent user of DX4WIN and Writelog interfaced by old lap tops with COM ports ,sending CW by LPT1.
