good news, things are somewhat better! This morning i changed in microHam router in keyboard tab checked use QWERTZ layout, in writelog ini file I added CtCompatibleAccel=YES, and re-recorded the 2 thru 11 wav files using Audacity but in the format of PCM 16 bit 11025 hz mono and I now can key the rig and send those wav files from the corresponding F-key   now only problem to sort out is the Shift+F-key does not work, can not record on the fly or change the wav files already recorded so must be a setting somewhere to make this work, but at least I am closer than before! Now we know that it is not a keyboard issue. thanks, Cort
