Found the problem and it was my error.
CW works when Com4 has the CW button pushed on the Ports pull down. Reason
is I have PTT and CW going to the radio on Com4 along with RTTY FSK via
Rttyrite Port selection. Delving deeper into MixW2 set-up found the keying
is on Com 4 and Com 5 is just used for the CAT. Anyway, got the problem
solved and now to just remember the set-up the next time. Again, operator
error although not sure how the CW button on WL Com5 was activated when
V10.78 was first brought up after installation. Must have made the WL port
change unknowingly for the NAQP RTTY Contest a couple of weeks ago.
Again, thanks everyone for the encouragement and help.
