I'm trying to use a W5XD/K5DJ multikeyer for the first time with =
WriteLog 10.28C. It't not working very well for me.
I'm using Windows XP and a serial port to the Multi-Keyer and on to my =
ICOM rig control. The rig control seems to work fine, whether the =
MultiKeyer is on or off. So far so good.
I can use the paddle to key the rig. I can press F11 and my CQ message =
gets sent. But if I press the ESC key to stop sending, or press ALT-F10 =
to speed up the CQ (it's way too slow), the Multi-Keyer stops sending =
and won't send again when I press F11 or any other function key, and the =
paddle stops working. If I turn off power to the Multi-Keyer and turn =
it back on again, I can send CW again until I press ESC or try to adjust =
the speed.
The speed is very slow, around 10-12 WPM. I'd like to send about 28-32 =
WPM. But I can't adjust the speed with Alt-F10 without having the keyer =
go comatose.
This is the first time I've connected the Multi-Keyer up.
Is this a known problem with the Multi-Keyer, or have I fallen into a =
common user error, or do I need to send this particular Multi-Keyer back =
for replacement or repair?
Any help would be appreciated. I'm piddling around in SS but would like =
to use the program for CQ WW. I bought the Multi-Keyer solely because I =
wanted to use Windows 2000/XP and wanted to use a robust keying =
solution. The one I've got now isn't working at all. =20
