[UK-CONTEST] CW Keying from XP

[Jayne Lindgren]

Hi Chris and all
I use Win XPPro with LPT1 keying. You do need to use something like 
DLPort I/O to enable the LPT for cw keying with XP.

I have experienced no problems with Serial Keying provided you dedicate
that port ALONE for keying. If you use it in conjunction with others ie
rig control then problems in timing may occur. I have always used LPT1
for keying as used to with other programs.
No problems with WL,N1MMLogger,and Logger32 so thats a fair test.
Hope thats of some help.
Catch up with you over the contest weekend Chris.
