[WriteLog] CW Problems.

[Don Hill AA5AU]

Forgot to mention, using v12.59F with homebrew transistor interface on COM1.
Works OK with other programs.

I have the same issue. When set to PC generates CW and my normal COM port
for CW, PTT keys all the time. No way to turn it off that I can find other
than to select an unused COM port.

Ed,
     Sorry, PTT keys and stays keyed (I have an LED on my home brew 
RS232 interface for CW/PTT/FSk, and the Radio is in TX, no CW sent 
unless I hit an F key, then it sends, but stays in TX)
CW Generation is "PC generates".
This hardware combination does work with N1MM and DXLabs for proper CW, 
with OR without PTT being used.  I normally run QSK so no PTT is 
normally used, but did test with the other software to insure my 
hardware is good.  I use the same RS-232 interface for RTTY with TXD for 
FSK and RTS for PTT. I de-select the port in rttyrite when doing CW to 
prevent conflicts.
Thanks,
Gordon - N1MGO
