You need to select LPT1 with ant instead of with DVK.  You can find this
info in NA update00.doc and the instruction manual for the dx-doubler table
that shows what pins it is expecting signals on.

The dx-doubler's work great.

Subject: [MRRC] Top Ten DX Doubler and NA



 Hi All...

  Both K4BAI and I bought a Top Ten DX Doubler SO2R box in Dayton. John also
bought the premade cables for the FT1000MP with his. I was over John's house
on Saturday to help him hook his up. We have it working in the manual mode
OK but can't seem to get it to work in the automatic mode.

John has two identical FT1000MP's. Only one of them is computer controlled -
which we will call Radio #1. The 2nd , which is not we will call Radio #2.
We have moved the jumpers inside the DX Doubler to configure it to use with
NA. He is running NA on a laptop with one (1) COM port and one (1) LPT port.
The COM port of the laptop is connected to the DB25 port on the back of
Radio #1.  This provides computer control for that radio. The LPT port on
the laptop is connected to the LPT port on the DX Doubler. The premade
cables are connected from the Radio One DIN plug on the DX doubler are
connected to the Keyer , Mic, and Headphone jacks on front on the FT1000MP -
Radio #1. The Radio Two DIN plug on the DX Doubler is conncted to the
Mic,Key, and Headphone jack on the front of Radio #2 - FT1000MP , that is
not computer controlled.

John's keyer is pluged in the Keyer In jack on the back of the DX Doubler.
The R1 PTT jack on the DX Doubler is is parallel with the PTT line from
radio #1 to the Alpha, which is used for Radio #1. The amp is not hooked to
Radio #2 right now.

On the configuration for NA we have Radio A/B  = LPT1 with dvk , XCVR1 =
FT1000MP, XCVR2 = FT1000MP , CW Port = LPT1


When NA is started we have the following checked on the Equipment Control
Panel :  TWO Radios , Radio #1 and Keyer


In the automatic mode on the DX doubler :

When you do the CTRL-R command on NA it switches the log between the TX#1
and TX#2 like it should.  It doesn't seem to switch the keying line and
light the LEDs to transmit on Radio #2 like it should. I think we have
everything hooked up OK but maybe I am missing something ???
