sent an email on this subject yesterday but eventually thought I had the
problem resolved. Not the case though. When I started up this morning all the
comport configuration settings had gone. I reloaded them again but forgot I
had another program open accessing the same comport so there was a clash and I
received a notification window from WT. I closed the other prog but when I
went back to WT the settings had gone again. I tested this a couple of times
and instead of just telling me that the port is in use the port settings are
deleted or lost. So I lose these settings when the PC is switched off and when
there is a clash.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></FONT></P>

<DIV></DIV>Andy,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I did some testing of the comm port settings with my WT, and here are the
results:</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>SETUP: I use WT with a ProII and MicroHam CW Keyer USB
interface. I use virtual comm port 5 for "Radio 1" control, and comm port
6 for "winkey".</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>1.) Rebooting WT does not cause the loss of comm port settings in WT.</DIV>
<DIV>2,) Closing WT and rebooting Win XP does not cause the loss of comm port
settings in WT.</DIV>
<DIV>3.) Closing WT and opening WriteLog allows WL to access comm ports 5 and 6
for radio control and cw keying. However, when I close WL, and reboot
WT, the comm port settings are gone from WT. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Also, a week ago, for some reason that I can not explain, I experienced a
random occurrence of the comm port settings in WT defaulting back to
"network". I had to reset comm 5 to "Radio 1", and comm 6 to "winkey" to
reestablish control and cw keying.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>My recommendation would be to "fix" WT so that it does not lose its comm
port settings if another application program accesses the comm ports.</DIV>
