[Dx4win] DX4WIN + K5XD Keyer (PTT)

[Wayne Rogers]

I Spent much time today trying to get DX4WIN to key my transmitter.  I use
Writelog for contesting with the keyer and it works fine.  I'm sure there
are many on the list that have struggled with this same problem.

 

I use the 1/8" plug PTT outputs from the K5XD keyer to key my rigs.  This is
easy - K5XD keyer PTT output goes direct to the Mic plug key connection.
Writelog and the K5XD keyer use one comm. port for serial interface of one
radio, and also include  PTT.

 

The DX4WIN help file says the following:

 "COM Port:  When selecting a COM port for keying, the two RS232 lines (DTR
and RTS) can be selected for CW keying and for PTT control. Each line can
have one of the following values, None, CW Keying or PTT control. You can
share the same COM port with the radio. When a line is not used for keying,
the DTR-high / RTS-high setting for the radio determine the state of the
line."

 

So - with RTS selected to assert PTT, the K5XD keyer should be happy, and
should key the transmitter.

 

What am I missing?  I've hunted around in the archives, and googled my way
around this issue to no avail.  Any help appreciated, and many thanks in
advance.
