[WriteLog] FW: CW Keying

[Gerry Smith]

Ron,

 

Sorry, you got it wrong and I would like to help. A guy (me and many
others) buy your product at Dayton. Yep, the person behind the counter
says the manual is on the disk: not so as you responded yesterday.

 

Good gosh, Ron, at the very least is the need to key the radio. Yes, XP
is the latest operating system from the very dominant player (Microsoft)
of the operating system vendor, the only one you play to, but XP has
been out for a while now. To go to an outside vendor to make the radio
keying work is ridiculous. You need to read the achieves on
contesting.com. Ron, you again, got it wrong. Many have complained that
the addition of DirectIo DOES NOT WORK! What the f-k Ron,. Let's get it
straight. 

 

As to priorities, Ron, you don't (apparently) take telephone calls. You
did sell in Dayton. You take the time and money to promote the product
(nice web site) but you can't key a radio with the most up to date
operating system from the biggest market share holder of operating
systems. Get real! 

 

Come on, be a vendor. Step up to the challenge. We can make money in
this market (I do) without sticking our head in the sand and without
being arrogant.

 

Gerry

 We could add it, however we have so many thing on out things to do list
it would take WAY to much time 

 writing drivers would put us way way behind. LPT port keying is WAY
down the list of things to do.. Direct-io

 works fine, not complaints from anyone as yet.  Another point is
Microsoft didn't add it in there program and

 if something happens to that part of the program you could delete
Direct-io and finish the contest with memory

 keys. If it was built into WriteLog and you have a problem the contest
is over as nothing can be done at that

 time.  When people quit asking for things to be done and my partner
doesn't have any requests to get out he

 may add LPT port keying for XP & 2000..   $30.00 is less then a pair of
tickets to go see a good College football

 team play a game for a few hours. It' not major money..

 

  73, de Ron K5DJ

One more thing, Ron. I have DX4WIN installed on the same computer (XP
home operating system) and the  

program keys the radio (through LPT1) beautifully.
