This is a reply from Dusty off the reflector to Paul and myself
Probably you have the same problem if you have K3 and maybe also for ft2000

I have a K3 transceiver and adjusted the PTT command which is defaulted to
OFF-OFF.  I had it >adjusted to RTS-DTR and it worked fine with ver 7.07.
After reading some note I picked up someplace, it said to use DTR-OFF which
I tried and of course, it didn't work.  I >then went into DX4WIN
-File-Preferences-Radio and checked DTR High and RTS High(which were
unchecked in my working ver 7.07).  It still did not work.  I then changed
my K3 >back to RTS-DTR and the keyboard worked.  Then I went back into
DX4WIN and unchecked DTR high and RTS high(one at a time) and with one and
then the other, the keyboard >still worked and it is still working.  Paul,
that makes no sense to me at all.  In other words, I am right back where I
started but now it works properly.  I guess all's <well that end's well.
