Hi John,
Ok here's the setup: i built a cw + ci-v
interface which i have connected to LPT1
and COM4 respectively. I also have COM1
connected to a sound card interface,
primarily just for PTT control.
I setup WL to use com4 for rig control and
it seems to work fine -- frequency is read
and i can change modes, etc just fine. But
when i tell WL to use com1 for PTT (by
checking the "rig" box for com1 also and then
setting PTT to "Yes" -- then the rig just
keys up 100% of the time and won't let go.
When i use a 3rd party program to do PTT
functions (ie: DX4WIN or AAVOICE) it works
fine. What i'd like to do is to get WL to
do the rig control *and* the PTT function.
maybe i'm just configuring it wrong in the
setup screen?
tnx
