[ct-user] 9.31 breakdown problem

Not to mention that if you use a Top-Ten "Band Decoder" with a Kenwood 
radio, you MUST have it plugged into LPT1, leaving LPT2 for the CW keying 
interface.

Kenwood owners need to use a Top-Ten "Yaesu" band decoder via LPT1... 
(According to the Top-Ten web page, the CT manual, and the CT web page, LPT1 
is the only port that provides radio band-data when you fire up CT using the 
 -AC switch.)

Unfortunately, Kenwood radios don't have band-data available at the back of 
the rig--but ICOM and Yaesu radios do provide that data at the back of the 
radio... sigh.

In both SS CW and CQWW CW, the breakdowns are shifted by two hours
because of a phantom first QSO in the log. Here are the first few lines
of the breakdown sheet from SS so you can see what I mean:

Anybody else having this problem? To fix it, I have to do a B2R and an
R2B, load the log, then generate a new breakdown. Also, the kilopoints
per hour breakdown is all hosed up. Questions: Is this fixed in 9.32?
And to the CT support guys: Approximately when will we have the BBS
back?

Still haven't seen any comments on why and when the radio 1/radio 2 bit
was moved to LPT1. I think this is a bug, and it should be moved back.
W6NL made the very good point that all the major programs should use the
same LPT and COM port pinouts for interfacing, which would make life
much easier for all of us who use more than one of these excellent
logging programs.
