I thought I had experienced every possible com port anomaly and either beat it or had it beat me. On the way...I learned a few things but obviously not enough.
I operate cw, ssb, rtty, psk on the hf bands. I use MMTTY for rtty with ptt on com 1 I use cw via the DXB interface with com 1 as the cw port I can use the standalone WinPsk specifying com 1 as the ptt port Both MMTTY & PSK use a soundcard and have connection to my MP's RTTY or PACKET connection. PTT & CW each has a transistor/resistor interface to the MP's ptt or cw plug. But what I CAN'T do is use DXBPSK program with com 1 as the ptt port. It won't key the rig. But if I switch to WinPsk standalone version, with the screen on top of DXB, the com 1 ptt works perfectly and I can make contacts. I can use MMTTY on top of DXB and send FSK rtty using com 1 as the ptt. Click on the DXB screen to make that the focus and hit the rig's cw mode button and it will send cw via DXB. Now I think I understand that DXB is not sending ptt over com 1 when it sends cw. It's just sending the cw to the key jack. cw is on one pair of lines on the com port and ptt would be on the other which DXB is NOT sending on??? Am I making myself clear? ------------------------------------------------------------ You May be a CheeseHead if: Your idea of creative landscaping is a statue of a cow next to your blue spruce. ------------------------------------------------------------ Bill H. in Chicagoland [EMAIL PROTECTED]
