[ct-user] CT 9.90.007 and Paddle

[Jim White, K4OJ]

...is there a possibility some other device is trying to share your LPT 
port?  Is this a dedicated contest computer or do you do a bunch of 
other stuff with it?

Perhaps the LPT can also be used in some other software to do something 
and you are the sad recipient of that function and CW colliding!

Justa guess from a computer QCAO

73,

Jim, K4OJ
