[ct-user] Problems with CW keying - 9.37

[Keith Beebe]

Ken:

In a message you sent to me in November, you said:

"CT9.37 has gone to full duplex on the COM ports. That means CT will send and
 receive simultaneously on the RS232 lines. Based on this, I think the 1000D
 (and others) can't handle RS232 send, RS232 receive and CW sending
 simultaneously.

 I now need to interlock CT to stop sending while data is arriving."

A windows based program I use stops the data flow to and from the radio whenever
CW is keyed. Can't you do the same thing?
