Problem: Swapped in a new computer, and now I can't key the radio unless I unplug the PTT line. Problem is the same on several different (both homemade and commercial) LPT keying interfaces. With the
Old computer was DOS 6.2 only, new one is dual boot DOS 6.2/WIN2000, booted to pure DOS of course. At least I THINK it's pure DOS :-) LPT is set for same address and IRQ as before. -- Steve K8LX
Steve, You might take a look at the BIOS settings for the LPT configuration - specifically, the LPT port may be set up as an EPP (enhanced parallel port) instead of a SPP (standard parallel port). (I
It's the first thing I checked when the problem arose. SPP is the BIOS default, but I tried the other settings just for the hell of it. No dice. Yep, now we can be told "put paper in the tray, IDIOT"
Just a heads up to the NA users that there will be a new NA version coming out tomorrow evening in time for Field Day 2002. Release 10.57 will have fixed the field format bug which affects the QRP an
I just purchased a notebook computer that has two USB ports but no com port. No problem keying the rig, will use the printer port. But can anyone tell me if it's possible to use NA with a USB port fo
Bob, My friend Tim, K9TM was able to make NA talk to the radio using a USB-to-COM adapter. He struggled with it for a while, but then got it working so the manufacturer then wanted to know how he did
Has anyone used NA with network cards instead of COM ports in a multi-station configuration? I.E. are there any drivers out there for that sort of thing? I seem to remember that someone wrote some dr
Tom, There is no similar ethernet network support in NA that is in CT. The only way to connect computers together is to use com ports either direct or in loop configuration. Juha OH6XX P.S. Dave, to
To be correct, there is no ethernet support in CT - rather K1TTT wrote software (nettsr) that replaces the comtsr driver that CT requires. It simply packages the com port data in a UDP frame so the
Rich and all, This is a bit out of topic for NA reflector but please excuse me. We were at IOTA pedition on EU101 in the beginning of June and eventhough I suggested that we should use NA there I was

Thanks for all of the replies. I was "cleaning out the closet" and found some networks cards and wondered if it were practical to hang on to those and put them in NA computers for a multi-op thing an
Tom .... I'd put the network cards in. It's a great way to get the upgrades to each NA computer. It's a great way to copy all the .qdf files to one PC and then merge them. It's a great way to get the
I have updated the country files for WRTC. All of the files can be found at: http://www.k1ea.com/cty Individual files for NA and Writelog are included in the same ZIP file. They are also available as
I heard another station working a Florida station during the test, giving his QTH as "MAR". I later looked at the multipliers from a FL station standpoint and found that there was no such multiplier.
Bert, Thanks for the heads up. When looking at the multiplier file (FLQSO.MLT) the multiplier name was "MARITIMES" but the abbreviation was "NS". Fixed now. I'd sure like to know the logic behind why
Thanks for your help, Dave The list of mult names you were given to work from was aimed at minizing confusion of county abbreviations versus out of state mult abbreviations...which have traditionally
