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

[quale]

Arno;

Glad to hear I'm not the only one. And I am using a new Dell laptop, so that 
also mirrors your experience.

What I have not been able to do is to initialise the LPT1 as you describe it 
for CT.  I have DXbase log program installed, but cannot send any dot through 
from there either.

I will try another PC, and from what you say it will probably work for me 
there.  Thanks for your useful input!

If somebody knows os some other way of triggering the LPT1 I would be glad to 
hear!

and, yes, cu in CQWW  (SO/AB/LP/UA)
