>Hi Folks,
>I have put CT on my laptop to use for logging during a Dxpedition. I can't seem to get the CW sending to work. The serial interface seems OK because it causes dits to send when starting or turning off the computer. I have indicated LPT1 on the CT start menu, and put what I want sent in the programming for the F keys, but they don't send. What am I not doing, or doing wrong? I also tried LPT2, etc. but nothing works. Thanks and 73, Duane, WV2B

Try placing a diode in series with the LPT port connection to isolate 
the keyed circuit..  Also make sure that in your computer BIOS setup you 
have the LPT-1 configured for bi-direction or try the choices in the 
BIOS that are available. One of the setting should should work for 
proper keying for you.
