Why is the escape bit for the dvk on a different port? some of this is
new to me but is this why my w9xt card doesnt work with 9.26 even though
my lpt port is not bi-directional?? works fine with 9.22 but escape does
not stop transmission . i to would prefer that dvk keying be on lpt2 so
that lpt1 be reserved for other conventional uses . cw keying on lpt2 in
9.22 works fine but not on 9.26 . how would one use a voice keyer with
the pinouts on 2 different ports?? simply hard wire one pin from lpt2 to
the proper place on the dvk??or is ther more to it that that ??
