[Dx4win] Keying Issues-Voltage Comparisons
GUY,and others, I just finished measuring some voltages around the Keying transistor 2n, 1K resistor, and Pin 4 of USB serial plug. Key Up and Tune. Computer: Brand new HP Pavillion Vista 64 bit. Triplett Model 60 Volt-Ohm meter. Voltages measured against Ground(Pin 5) of Serial Line out of computer. Prolific USB/Serial-latest software to include Win Vista. I measured running N1MM Logger program and also DX4WIN Ver 8.03 ** Key UP.. N1MM(which keys rig perfectly): Pin 4 -6.6V Transistor Input -6.6V Transistor Output 0. V DX4WIN Pin 4 -6.6V Transistor Input -6.6V Transistor Output 0. V ^^^ KEY DOWN... N1MM Used both sending CW and TUNE Pin 4 +6. V Transistor Input +0.7V Transistor Output 0 Volts and Transistor is shorted to ground and keys rig. DX4WIN( Hit F1 on Keying Tab sending CQ) Pin 4 +6. V Transistor Input +0.7V Transistor Output 0 Volts and transistor is shorted to ground but does not send CW-It is continuous even though the keyer is sending/showing CQ CQ DE N4RJ, etc... - Using COM 4 4800 8 n 1 Under DX4WIN prefs, COM4, CW, None(for PTT) it doesnt matter if the radio is on or off, or any other variables are changed. it still keys continuous. Obviously the keying circuit is satisfactory. Something in DX4WIN is telling something in the computer to hold that keying circuit in a continuously keyed state. The open voltages are identical, the closed voltages are identical. It just doesnt go high and low in DX4WIN. Any ideas? Val N4RJ Nutrition Improve your career health.

[Dx4win] Keying Issues
If possible, could those having the Key lock down on Ver 8.03 measure the voltages on either side of the keying Transistor, both Key up and during lock down? Please report this if you can. I am going to change resistance values associated with the resistor to see if this changes things.

[Dx4win] Keying Issues
My DX4WIN has a cw keying issue: It will not send cw via the com ports in ver 8.03 at all. Just a keyed carrier. But when I try cw in ver. 7.04, cw via the com ports, cw is running as it should. I wonder what is missing in 8.03 verses 7.04 I have tried this many time over uninstalling 8.03 and re-installing it. Same thing happens My rig is a Tentec Omni VI+. However as stated before it is fine with ver 7.04 My 2nd rig is an Orion II. When I used the LPT keying support the Omni VI keys correctly but the Orion sends garbage. I tried the reverse option and then the Orion sends correctly and the Omni VI sends garbage. Go figure. This is with LPT keying So I uninstalled the LPT driver. I hate when something is supposed to work and it does not. Must be something with the code or rig driver file Is there a patch for this or an upgrade in the next ver.?

[Dx4win] Keying Issues with MMTTY via DX4WIN
Hi... Wonder if anyone could point me the correct direction to solve this problem. I recently got a microkeyer and everything is working pretty well. Only problem has to do with trying to get the mmtty "interface" in DX4WIN to work properly. I have, to the best of my understanding, got all the parameters set correctly, and I can use MMTTY by itself without any difficulty, via the microkeyer. When I try to use DX4WIN with the RTTY "interface," the radio goes into the transmit mode and remains that way until it is turned off. There is no "diddling" of the RTTY signal, just a solid tone as though it were CW keydown.

I do not use MMTTY at all - I use MixW for all digital activity. Nonetheless, I would like to set up and test MMTTY within DX4Win, simply to see how it all works. I have downloaded MMTTY to my Program Files, and within DX4Win File/Preferences/RTTY, I have None in the 'Type' box, and C:\Program Files\MMTTY.Exe in the 'MMTTY Executable' box. When I try to open MMTTY from within DX4Win, a MMTTY window (what looks like the receive and transmit windows) come up on screen, but I then get a message that states 'MMTTY could not be opened'. And that's all. I simply cannot get the program to work. Is there someone who could, step by step, show me the error of my ways. Perhaps show me where a step by step set up routine may be available. Any/all help appreciated. Ernie Walls VK3FM [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED]
