Hey Joe,

Thanks for the help!  Sri for the delay in replying, but my Grandson is visiting for a few days.   Don't get many visits from him, so can't give up the opportunity to spend some time.  Although I am planning on some kind of effort in RTTYRU.

Yes I did download the current example configuration file for the MK and writelog.   In fact it helped my aging memory to setup up the RTTY configuration which appears to be working fine.

I currently have a PCI-e card with port 2, 3, 4 and 5 installed in this computer that is not being used now.  Additionally, uRouter, Virtual Port, Show All - reveals that I had previously created virtual port for 6 thru 11 that are currently being used.  Additionally, ports 12 thru 30 are present but not being used.

I really think this is a computer ports problem, because port 6 had been flakey as well.  So I was going to remove the PCI-e card and the other Virtual ports and then using the procedure described on RTTYContesting.com to make sure that those ports are removed from the system ( guess this will work as I am using Win 8.1 compooter).  Then I thought that I would reboot and start over with the virtual ports in uRouter and Writelog and see where it goes.

BTW I am using port 7 for CAT control for FT-2000 and port 8 for FSK--both of these are working without a problem.  In fact all of this was working including CW in Writelog 11.29, uRouter before upgrading to Writelog 12.35c.

I don't know!  Thanks, Jim/KC4HW

*DO NOT* attempt to use the same port for the radio and CW (K1EL
Winkey).  Also confirm that "COM PTT" for all Ports is set to NO.

My Setup:  Writelog 12.35c and MicroHAM, Microkeyer

Have Comm10 identified and working for CW K1EL Keyer in uRouter. I was able to send CW from uRouter.

In Writelog 12.35c, I selected PORTS and set Comm10 for CW and then identify K1EL Winkey as the CW Keying Interface.  When I tap APPLY and then OK I am getting a "Can't open port for Winkey" error.   This implies that something else is using Comm10, but I am not aware of anything that is using Comm10.  So I shutdown to power off with the computer thinking that this would release Comm10--no luck!

BTW this configuration with Comm10, uRouter and Writelog v11.29 worked.

Any help here?
