*READ THE INSTRUCTIONS/HELP FILE* --- it took me all of two minutes
(including time to boot the machine that I use for WriteLog) to find
the following:
1) The help file clearly states that DTR/RTS (DSR is an input signal)
will be asserted on any port that is not used to send CW.
2) To keep DTR/RTS from being asserted:
a) Set CW KEYER TYPE -> PC Generates
b) Set "All mode PTT on CW port RTS"
c) select CW on the same port that you use to control the Rigbalster.
In fact, if you have a RigBlaster Plus (has an "extra" optoisolator)
you can actually use it for both CW and AFSK ... internal jumpers can
select DTR for CW and RTS for PTT.
