[Dx4win] PSK and PTT setup

Carl, 

Wouldn't be sure but check what you have set for CW keying/PTT control
under the Control tab in the preferences, if you are using the same port
for anything there it wont let you use it for PSK or RTTY even if you
select it in there respective windows.  

So what I am saying is under Control select none and then select what
you want to do in the PSK or RTTY windows themselves. Seems a little
muddled I know but that is what works for me. 

Also note that if this is the problem and you change it so that the
other modes can use that com port you need to go out of DX4WIN and start
it up again to release control of the com port.

Hope that helps.

Subject: [Dx4win] PSK and PTT setup 

I am using DX4WIN 7.01 on a W98 machine.    I cannot key the transmitter
when using psk.  
I have no problem with the set up in Digipan (settings COM2 with both
RTS and DTR checked as PTT).   Works FB.  BTW, radio control is via COM6
on both Digipan and DX4WIN which works FB. 


I have tried many combinations of COMs and DTR/RTS assignments in the
CONTROL tab of the preference screen.  

The help screen describes only a 25 ping DB and I am using a 9 pin DB on
my laptop.

Radio control via COM6 uses DTR as High and RTS as High.



Can anyone tell me what settings I need to make this thing work?

Tnx
