[UK-CONTEST] {Disarmed} [microHAM] microKEYER II - router - FT1000MP- WinTest - WinKey problems

[Alan Jubb - 5B4AHJ]

Hi again.

Some further info. I have now established that the TX is keyed by
WinTest/WinKey if the sub VFO is selected, but not if the main VFO is
selcted. Thus, it is likely that the two problems are each a different
manifestation of a single problem.

So, as things stand at the moment, I can operate everything via the sub VFO,
but not the main VFO. It will be a real pain if I have to run like this in
the Commonwealth Contest.
Any suggestions will be much appreciated.
Thanks & 73
