Hi Bob: CT for DOS has the exact same LPT problem, where you have to cycle through the buttons. Note that if you happen to have an SCK-II (with six DVK control lines) even that won't help. 73, Mark,

Good day, all: I spent a couple of hours trying to get WintelnetX working with a CT network yesterday and a REAL TNC. I was able to get the TNC working with CT running on that computer. However, I wo
Hmmm... Does the W9XT card support more than 4 voice messages? If so, then lpt1init may be necessary to get it to work at all. It is definitely required for the SCK-II external keyer. I would not hav
Oh, and 10.xx is badly broken for the SCK-II external DVK, which is why I wrote lpt1init.exe. If the problem is fixed for 9.xx by lpt1init.exe, I would expect the same situation in 10.xx for the W9XT
Good day, all: Datapol has made their NTFS4DOS program freeware! This program allows read and WRITE access to NTFS partitions from DOS. This means you can create a bootable DOS CD, boot from it, and
Good afternoon, all: I have just created a merged CT9 bin file from our field day logs. Using "breakdown" from CT actually yields a breakdown file with no data...just dots. Using "breakdown" on one o
Good day, all: I have decided to try to get CT's ethernet network working on my fairly new laptop. I have it dual booting Windows XP and DOS and that works great. The nettsr program requires a DOS pa
Hi David: Actually, no, I hadn't seriously considered that. Simply didn't occur to me. How stable is it these days? :-) DVP support obviously doesn't matter on newer hardware, we'll use external voic
Good afternoon, all: I believe I have solved the problem of running DOS on new computers! All my single-op contest efforts are now done using a DOS logging program and most of them are done using new
Good day, all: I'm starting to set up for the IARU contest. We'll be using CT. Where can I get the IARU.DAT file for the headquarters multipliers? I don't see one on the K1EA web site. A quick web se
Good day, all: I am going to use CT for the first time for IARU this weekend. Do I need any special configuration for the IARU contest? The CT 9 manual mentions an iaru.dat file for multipliers. This
Yeah, Check Partial ALMOST worked for dupes. The problem I had was that I needed to type in the whole call and type space because Check Partial is broken for a Multi-mode contest. What I'm used to lo
Good day, all: Thanks to the kindness of Datapol gmbh in Germany and the power of FreeDOS, I am announcing the Alpha test version 1.0 of the DOS Contesting LiveCD. I need volunteers to test this and
Good day, all: Answering a question about voice keying, I tried to find the DVP site. I figured out that this was ACOM (I did order a cable from them a few years ago) but couldn't find the DVP. Has t
Hi all: What are people using with CT for voice keying? I'm using the SCK-II external DVK and DVP's in old computers. I have used SBDVP (sound blaster DVP) with TR-LOG, but I don't think it works wit
Hi Noel: It's often (usually?) done by using Pin 14 on LPT1 to switch between radio 1 and radio 2 and using an external relay with CT DOS (and, I presume, CT WIN). You can also use two parallel ports
Good day, all: I have started a new version of my procedure to create a bootable DOS CD. This CD can be used to boot virtually ANY modern PC-compatible computer into DOS (either FreeDOS or MS-DOS). I
Good day, all: I have updated my detailed procedure to create a bootable DOS CD. It is easy to customize the CD to include logging programs, custom startup scripts, custom programs, etc.. You can als
Good day, all: I need someone to volunteer to test my latest procedure for creating custom bootable DOS CD's. You will need internet access, a Windows computer, a CD burner, and a few blank CD's. You
