[SD-User] SD Parallel keying - No signal to radio

[A.Polinsky@alcatel.de]

Hello Chris,

I have similar experiences. With My laptop the same situation is happend.
Beside the right setup of the program and the rig, I need to run an other
program to initialize the LPT port. In my case I prefer to start CT.exe and
processing just one dot via the interface. After that I can leave CT and
start up SD. Now also under SD control the LPT interface works fine! (Until
you switch off you Computer...)
On an other desktop computer (386er) it has never been happend in a similar
way with the same cable! SD runs here without problems with the parallel
port under any conditions.

For me, it seems that the problem is to initialize the LPT port first.

73 and cuagn in WWDX on 80 Meters as SO/SB/LP/UA... of course by running
SD!

Arno

Can anybody help...?

I got myself a ready made parallel port cable, fitted according to the
instructions with transistor and resistor, in order to handle keying output
from logging programs.  I have checked the unit as per the accompanying
instructions, and it seems to be in good shape.

However I do not get any CW generated on my radio (yes, the LPT1 output is
connected to the straight key socket) neither from SD nor DXbase.   The PC
parallel port works fine otherwise for exsternal disk-station as well as
with
printers.

Is there something I am not aware of?  I would appreciate any guidance.

73,
Chris
