Rig Control and WinKey activation are two entirely separate functions.
However, they are both activated/configured using the PORTS command, and
they require two separate COM ports, whether real (as with the FT1000MP)
or virtual (for WinKey).
It's best to try them one at a time. When rig control is working, the
rigs's frequency is displayed under the logging line, and exact
frequencies are logged.
Please send me your SD.INI file, and I will check the parameters used.

Hello all,
I'm trying to get the SD software to work in conjunction with my newly-purchased
Winkeyer, in an effort to use both in the upcoming Scandinavian Activity
Contest -
nothing like waiting until the last minute to get ready (hi!).
The rig that I am using is an early model Yaesu FT-1000MP. The Winkeyer works FB
in a "standalone" mode (using it as an electronic keyer). This morning, I tried
to
load a sample contest that I called "SAC DEMO" and I entered 18 sample QSOs.
The SD software would not key the rig and after using the SD program, I asked
for a "text file" to be exported, which I looked at. All of the QSO information
was
present EXCEPT for the exact frequencies of the QSOs.
The only reason why I even want to have the SD software "control" the radio is
because the SAC rules state that the "top three" entrants need to furnish the
exact
frequencies of the QSOs.
I am using a normal serial cable to connect the "CAT connector" on the back of
the
FT-1000MP with the serial port on the computer. I made sure that all of the
parameters in the SD software agree with the FT-1000MP parameters but apparently
there is something (or more than one thing) wrong with my set-up.
Thanks for any help!
