[SD-User] SD help needed!

[Paul O'Kane]

Rig Control and WinKey activation are two entirely separate functions.

However, they are both activated/configured using the PORTS command, and 
they require two separate COM ports, whether real (as with the FT1000MP) 
or virtual (for WinKey).

It's best  to try them one at a time.  When rig control is working, the 
rigs's frequency is displayed under the logging line, and exact 
frequencies are logged.

Please send me your SD.INI file, and I will check the parameters used.
