There is a pin on the LPT port that is toggled when you switch from RIG1
to RIG2.  I guess you are supposed to add your own relay to switch your
CW output or something.  I, too, would prefer another KEYER port.  For
just this reason, I used two computers instead of using the toggling
output.


I used 9.20 and also 9.15, to see if the bugs I observed were version
specific, but it seems that it was common to both versions.  The bugs I
observed were with the bandmap (a great feature) and the announce window.

1.  When entering bandmap entries by the <CTRL-ENTER> method, other computers
in the station (not the originating computer) would get a bogus/meaningless
spot in the announce window.  It would just be a bunch of numbers for time
and call and frequency was typically 0.5!

2.  Also when entering call via CTRL-ENTER, about 20% of the time, the
spot would show up as a needed call in the bandmap AND announce window,
even though it was a dupe.  A pain in the butt, and very misleading.  One
can blow away the spot from the announce window, but to see that a MULT
is needed in the bandmap (which you can't blow away) is very confusing!
