[ct-user] LPT Keying Cable Problem

[Frank Grossman]

Hi Rich...

>>I use a W1WEF interface to key my IC-765 from a printer port while running 
CT and/or DX4WIN. It works just fine for me. My computer is a Dell Dimension 
XPS T450.<<

Thanks!  Since it works for you, I know there's nothing fundamentally 
incompatible between the IC-765 and the interface.

>>I think there must be something different about your printer port than 
others, perhaps a configuration problem?<<

I've tried two different -486 computers with CT 9, and even tried my old -XT 
clone with CT 7--same results. It's unlikely that all three machines have the 
same configuration problem.

>> The W1WEF interfaces are generally bullet-proof. You probably need on-site 
help to figure it out. Good luck.<<

I haven't found anyone yet with enough experience who can drop over and look 
at the problem.

>>P.S. I just had a thought. Are the W1WEF interfaces wired different for COM 
ports and LPT ports? Maybe you shouldn't expect it to work?<<

I don't think that's it.  I'm using the N3JT interface, referred to in the CT 
manual, on com2.

73,
Frank
