[Dx4win] Using Rigblaster for CW/RTTY

[Joe - WDØM]

Hi Joe,

Adding multiple serial ports should solve the problem.  Sounds like a port 
conflict - you can't run CW and RTTY at the same time on the same 
port.  Once a port is "captured", some programs won't let it go, so when 
you try to run another program that uses the same port, it will show up as 
a conflict.

I added an additional 8 ports (overkill) on my PC years ago, and assign 
different ports to different functions - RTTY, rig, CW, rotator, etc.  I 
use MTTY with DX4WIN using the Rigblaster Plus - no problems - as well as 
all the other sound card programs.

73,
