Is the CW erratic as heard from the computer speaker too (if not, could be
your interface)? 9.37 worked fine for me (CW keying) in WPX. My computer
is a Pentium 166. All the other functions of CT also worked OK including
band selection of my FT-1000MP.
Sounds like the dreaded "IRQ conflict" but you kind of ruled that out by
trying two different computers. If it was me I'd re-load 9.27 from disk
(put it in a different directory so you don't disturb your original CT)
then I'd down-load 9.37 again and update the newly loaded 9.27. Then I'd
run the new one in DOS (not a Windows shell) and see if the problem is
still there. Good luck!
