And that is the problem. I cannot select CW on the same port as I control
the rig. CW is on an independent port. If I want to do that I will have to
rewire my cable and use it for the CW . I suppose I could but I would have
to change other programs and some will not allow that. That is NOT a simple
task as I now have a cable with the interface hanging on it and also
connecting it to the radio CW.
I said before, I did read and did not find and as you can see, it is not
there.
I showed you my setup with the diagram, it shows a different port for CW
that there is for radio control.

I don't have the plus. I could rewire the blaster but I am not going to go
in and cut diodes.
Thanks for the try but you can see my problem.
If it had been originally constructed for this program it would have been easy.

(including time to boot the machine that I use for WriteLog) to find

the following: <br><br>

will be asserted on any port that is not used to send CW.
