[Dx4win] CW Keying

[Terrance Hines]

Trying to get ready for field day and I need some quick help.
 
I have Version 5.03 running on XP with one of the few reasonably new laptops
that still has a Serial Comm port. I've used DX4WIN on previous field day
events and I have an 9-Pin RS-232 cable already made up to work with RTS.
The last time I did this  I was running XT.  I can hear DX4WIN sending CW
through the computer's speaker but I don't see it switching the voltage
across the base resistor of the 2N2222 transitor.  I am using an Icom 706
and  the "Preferences/Radio" is set for Icom Radio and  Comm Port 3, RTS and
a delay of 5 ms.   I think the port is set for Comm Port 3 in Windows XP
because everytime I try to change it to a different Comm Port I get and
error message.  I would appreciate any help that could be provided. I should
have done this before but other higher priorities prevented me from getting
this done until now.
