That's what happens on Win98.  It works correctly here on
WinXP.  This is due to internal differences in Win98 and
XP, and it's the best I can do.

That was changed in V12.15.  With ESM enabled, F12 now logs
a QSO without sending the final message.  At least, that's
what it should do - I haven't checked it recently.

I use WinKeyer USB (WKUSB).  It can be purchased assembled
from www.k1el.com.

You can find out immediately (even without a serial port)
by using SD's parallel-port keying option - but you may
have to make up a lead.  It's simple and is described in
the manual - www.ei5di.com/sd/sd.pdf.

If you have a serial port, then SD's keyer will work
with the same cable you already use.
