<DIV></DIV>Bill,<BR><BR>Very interesting! Thanks for your post. I am
still using an older version of Router (5.1?) so maybe that is why I haven't
seen the problem.<BR><BR>Once you have selected your preset, maybe it would help
to select "Device | Store as Power-Up Settings" from the Router menu? That
way the WinKey port would always be available, as soon as you power on the
MK2R.<BR><BR>73,<BR>Bob, N6TV<BR><BR>

<DIV dir=ltr align=left><SPAN><FONT face="Courier New">If the message is
properly sent I usually will have no problems after that. I also found that I
need to keep the device router open for a while until I've made a few QSO's.
Once a few QSO's are in the log then you can minimize the device router with
little risk of a failure. However, minimizing the router right a way tends to
increase the likelihood of loosing the ability to send CW from the
computer.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV>The problem occurs with a fairly high chance at the very startup of WT
(and synergy). Sometimes several restarts (wt, router and MK2R) are needed.
It never occurs once wt is running!</DIV></DIV></DIV></BLOCKQUOTE>
<DIV><BR>Oh, so it is only a start-up issue? Do you have the WinKey
sending CW while you start Win-Test, then it halts? I think Win-Test or
microHAM router does a Win-Key "reset" when it initializes communications at
start-up, so that could cancel active CW. You can see this by pressing
the microHAM [MON] (monitor) button next to the WinKeyer2 port, then on the
next panel click [Start], then start Win-Test. <BR><BR>Capturing this
Winkeyer2 log data is very valuable for diagnosing WinKey
problems.<BR><BR>73,<BR>Bob,
