Hi Chris,

The MircroHam interface works perfectly.  I have the same rig.  Here is the
proper setup directly from Jozef Urban, OM7ZZ:

If you are using Writelog be sure to have
1 "comm PTT" = NO
2 CW on same port as radio
3 checked "All mode PTT on CW port RTS"
4 "PC generates" under CW keyer type

5 Finally choose between PTT & QSK in the "CW PTT ..." button
Choose 1st selection "none (e.g. QSK)
Choose 3rd selection "On LPT pin16/COMM RTS" for PTT

I think this is where you went wrong.
> Bottom CW circle (8th down) checked.
This is wrong.  The CW circle that is checked has to be the one by the same
comp port you are using for rig control.  Mine's working perfectly and I can
easily change from PTT to QSK.
