I had a similar problem troubleshooting a problem at PJ2T - they were
using LPT to drive a band decoder but it was not working.
Long story short, we went into the computer's bios, and found LPT turned
off. Try booting up and holding (F8?? F12??? Whatever key takes you to
the bios) and checking the status of LPT there.

Dave and any WL users,
We are back to troubleshooting the SO2R cw keying focus problem. To
restate the problem, the cw keying focus on the DX Doubler does not
automatically switch from Radio L to Radio R. The logging program is
WriteLog, ver
10.87e. The DX Doubler will switch cw keying focus manually just fine.
We have confirmed that there is a constant +4.5 vdc on pin 14 of the LPT
connector. It does not go to 0.0 vdc when switching from Radio L to
Radio R
in WriteLog. For some reason, WriteLog is not causing the +4.5 vdc on
LPT
pin 14 to toggle.
Any ideas will be appreciated.
Tnx, George

Hi George,
The most basic response of the DXD is to have the red LEDs transfer
from
Radio 1 to Radio 2 and back when you switch transmit focus. The DXD
looks
for a toggling TTL-level line on its input connector J9, Pin 14, from
the
manual:
My first recommendation is to have you put a meter on Pin 14, and then
change radios on the computer. You should see the level go up and
down, and
actually hear relays click in the DXD. If you can test that, and let
me
know, we can go to the next step of debugging.

Hi Dave,
I checked the jumpers, and they are set according the instructions in
the
DXB manual.
The red LEDs only switch when I switch them manually. I could not get
them
to switch automatically regardless of what I did with WriteLog
I spent the better part of Saturday troubleshooting this problem, but
in
the end just gave up. By 4pm, I had to reconfig the radios and antennas
for
SO1R. I also then went back to WinTest as my logger, as I prefer that
over
WriteLog.
I'd like to find the solution to the automatic cw focus problem so I
can
go SO2R with the DXB. Are you available to assist me?
Tnx, Geo...

George,
Are the internal jumpers set properly for WL?
If the red LEDs are changing, then the CW and PTT signals should be
being
switched between the two radios.

Hello all...any help with this will be appreciated.
I have set up WriteLog (10.87E) for SO2R using a Top Ten DX Doubler. I
have all of the functions are working except the automatic switching of
CW
keying from Radio 1 to Radio 2 does not work. I can manually switch the
CW
keying between R1 and R2, ok, but not automatically.
Is there a menu function in WriteLog that I must set?
73, George
