[Dx4win] 8.03 CW Keying problems.

[David Kozinn, K2DBK]

I did some testing today to try try to narrow down the issue some of us 
are having with the CW keyer. The rig is an Icom 756 Pro II, OS is 
Windows XP SP3, connection to the radio is via a Rigblaster Plus. All 
was working fine using version 8.02.

Here are my results:

8.02 Settings:
COM3, PTT Delay 0, DTR=CW keying, RTS=None -- Works fine

8.03 Settings:
CW on COM3, PTT delay 0

DTR            RTS        Result
None        None    Nothing
None        CW        Appears to be doing PTT
None        PTT        Briefly keys then unkeys, won't send after that, 
Alt-S/Tune works
CW            None    Keys and xmits constant
CW            CW        Keys and xmits constant
CW            PTT        Keys and xmits constant
PTT            None    Nothing
PTT            CW        Brief xmit, PTT constant
PTT            PTT        Briefly keys then unkeys, won't send after 
that, Alt-S/Tune works

Although I noted it specifically in a couple of places, in all cases I 
was able to go into CW setup with Alt-S and click on Tune then Stop and 
it would "clear" things.

As I've noted before, there have been no other hardware or software 
changes, this continues to work fine under 8.02 as well as under N1MM 
contest logger and Ham Radio Deluxe.
