Hello Mac
in com port
pin4 is dtr
pin 7 rts
and pin 5 is gnd
Even an interface with a 2n2222 or an optocoupler like 4n35 will work, 
winkey will be better solution. I wish dx4win fully supports the version 
with the 2 radios in the next release like writelog does. Otherwise winkey 
is really perfect.

Hi. Thanks for reading.
I have been using DX4 for years with a printer cable interface. Now, I have 
only a notebook and 3 USB ports. On DX4 help file there is information how 
to build a DB25 cable and/or DB9 transformation. The draw diagram shows pins 
20 DTR and 7 GND. Above there is a table with: DTR pin 20, RTS pin 7 and GND 
pin 4 (not 7).... What is the right? And how about DB9 my mainly focus.. The 
information on the table is ok?

pin 4 DTR - pin 5 RTS and pin 7 GND

There is a seller that can buy an industrial or made home DB9 cable, please? 
Maybe other solution like Winkey - or similar - will be more useful.

I have DX4Win 7.05 installed on Acer Travelmate 6292 - XP SP3. I wil use it 
only for CW. I bought a USB to RS232 converter and it works with others 
applications.

Many thanks in advanced and all ideas are welcome. Please help me to chose a 
good solution.
