[Dx4win] LPT 1/2 Radio?

[Wayne King]

Is anyone using LPT to key CW with a 2nd radio?
I'm using ver 7.04 with  XP OS.
Rigs: Omni VI/Orion II
Com 3 for Omni (works) Does not switch off when selecting Orion
LPT1 for Orion (Nada)  Still keys Omni VI when Orion is selected in DX4WIN
No other interface

Interface



Select the port used for the CW keying interface. Selecting None will 
disable the interface, but audio keying is still available. Keying can be 
accomplished by using a LPT (printer) port or a COM (serial) port.



LPT port:



The following lines are used on the DB25 male connector:

      PTT
     16
     PTT; only active when a PTT delay has been specified. When keying CW, 
the line will become active, and the sending of CW will start after the 
number of milliseconds specified has passed. As soon as the CW buffer is 
empty, the line will become inactive again. The PTT line is also used by the 
PSK31 interface for keying the transmitter.

      Radio2
     14
     When a LPT port has been selected in the Radio 1/2 signal, this line is 
active when the second radio is selected.


Radio 1/2 signal:

When a LPT port is selected, the Radio2 line will be active when the second 
radio is selected, and inactive when the primary radio is selected. When 
using the LPT port to control the DX Doubler 2-radio selection (LPT pin 14), 
you must select that LPT port in the CW preferences page, even if you are 
not using the LPT port to send CW. Otherwise the polarity of pin 14 will be 
reversed.



LPT Pin 14  is this feature just for the DX Doubler??? Does XP  OS have 
anything to do with it not working properly?

I do not have LPT1 pin 14 connected to the Orion II



What else do I need or is another interface box needed?
