I have a new PC. It doesn't have a parallel port, so I have installed an ISA card/parallel port. I have set the hex port address and my trusty old DX Doubler switches from radio 1 to radio 2 happily using the * key in WinTest, however, I can't get it to key either radio correctly.<br></div><div> <br></div><div> With the radio/com options RTS and DTR set to Always off, and the parallel port set to use pin 16 and 17 -<br></div><div> Radio 1 (K3) the PTT works, but no CW is sent. <br></div><div> Radio 2 (FT1000mp) PTT also works but the CW which is sent is just fast gibberish (a bit like a phone dial tone).<br></div><div> <br></div><div> If I choose not to use parallel port pins 16 and 17, and instead set the DTR and RTS to use the serial ports for PTT and CW Radio 1 (K3) PTT activates but there is no CW (same as the parallel port issue). This is strange as this should work anyway. Radio 2 won't work with serial PTT/CW of course.<br></div><div> <br></div><div> Is there any further setup required in order to get pins 16 and 17 to behave as they should (CW and PTT) with this new parallel port card?<br></div><div> <br></div><div> Thanks in advance for the help!<br></div><div> <br></div><div> 73<br></div><div> Stewart <br></div><div> G4AFF<br></div><div> <br></div><div> -- <br></div><div> support mailing list<br></div><div> <a href="mailto:support@win-test.com" target="_blank">support@win-test.com</a><br></div><div> <a href="https://lists.win-test.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/support" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://lists.win-test.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/support</a><br></div></blockquote></div></blockquote><div><br></div></body></html>
