[Dx4win] microKEYER II Question

[Kjell W. Strom]

Larry,

I can create the same situation with the original MicroKeyer and
DX4WIN 7.07.2 and I found two ways out of it:

1. Don't click on Stop Radio, just exit DX4WIN and the frequency
control window will show up normally when you start next
morning. Keep your radio running until you have closed DX4WIN.

2. If you are still stuck, click on Set Frequency instead of
Start Radio. There may be a small bug in the program there.

73,
Kjell, PB3SM - SM6CPI
