You're only other option is to use [Alt-K] keyboard mode instead of paddles to send confirmations. Sorry, this is not a bug, it is just the way Win-Test was designed to handle the radio switching. <br><br>If Win-Test code was changed to immediately move the transmit focus to the "Yellow" Radio 2 window, the repeating CQ on Radio 1 wouldn't work right any more.<br>

Hi Mike,<br>
<br>
yes, I know this way but I would like make it automatically. It means my<br>
controller knows which radio has the focus and leads the CW-Signal from<br>
the paddle to this radio. But I believe for such control delivers WT to<br>
the LPT not enough informations.<br>
<br>
It is not easy and error-prone at the second day of the contest to<br>
decide R1 or R2, manual switch ([*]) necessary or not if you want send<br>
simple "cfm" back to "14?".<br>
