[Dx4win] Share rig COM port between Writelog and DX4WIN?

Fri, 6 Feb 2004 11:13:33 -0600

I have my rig control to my Yaesu FT-1000MP Mark-V and WriteLog CW =
keying
through COM1 via my W5XD Multi-Keyer.  I have DX4WIN using COM8 via my
RigBlaster Pro.  DX4WIN will not key the Multi-Keyer.  I run Windows XP =
Pro
on my P4 Dell.  I use a ByteRunner Card with 8 COM Ports since the Dell =
only
has one COM Port.  I do not see a way around two ports if you are =
running XP
unless you use one of the Parallel Port drivers to key via that port.

Jim

I doubt it, however

You might be able to split the data coming out of the IC-756 and then =
feed
that to 2 level converters and use 2 unique com ports.

I've never tried it, but it may be worth attempting.
