In order to test that using a port for CW will turn off the DTR, I selected
port 4 and I get the message that shared radio and cw on the selected port
is not possible. WHY, what is happening here. In fact, I did not even
select a rig control box at all and II get that message. I cannot use Port
4 or 3 for CW no matter what!
I must point out that 3 and 4 are PCI COMM cards. It seems that the system
he used cannot communicate properly with the PCI COMM drivers.
Don't tell me to switch to 1 and 2. I need those also. I bought the card as
I need 4 ports. These ought to all work fine with windows.

*READ THE INSTRUCTIONS/HELP FILE* --- it took me all of two minutes
<br>
(including time to boot the machine that I use for WriteLog) to find
<br>
the following: <br><br>
1) The help file clearly states that DTR/RTS (DSR is an input signal)
<br>
will be asserted on any port that is not used to send CW.
<br><br>
2) To keep DTR/RTS from being asserted: <br><br>
a) Set CW KEYER TYPE -> PC Generates <br>
b) Set "All mode PTT on CW port RTS" <br>
c) select CW on the same port that you use to control the
Rigbalster. </blockquote><br><br>
And that is the problem. I cannot select CW on the same port as I control
the rig. CW is on an independent port. If I want to do that I will have
to rewire my cable and use it for the CW . I suppose I could but I would
have to change other programs and some will not allow that. That is NOT a
simple task as I now have a cable with the interface hanging on it and
also connecting it to the radio CW.<br><br>
I said before, I did read and did not find and as you can see, it
is not there.<br>
I showed you my setup with the diagram, it shows a different port for CW
that there is for radio control.<br><br>
<blockquote type=cite class=cite cite> In fact, if you have a
RigBlaster Plus (has an "extra" optoisolator) <br>
you can actually use it for both CW and AFSK ... internal
jumpers can <br>
select DTR for CW and RTS for PTT. </blockquote><br><br>
I don't have the plus. I could rewire the blaster but I am not going to
go in and cut diodes.<br>
Thanks for the try but you can see my problem.<br>
If it had been originally constructed for this program it would have been
easy.<br><br>
