[Dx4win] Keying "Lock down" issues

[ON4AOI]

Hi Hugh and others,

Let me clear out some things
No matter what OS (WIN98-XP-VISTA-WIN7) you are running
All the drivers that you have found are all for the LPT port,
Because there are NO extra drivers installed for serial ports
when you install DX4WIN.
Starting DX4WIN803 the new LPT driver can be installed if you need
The LPT port for connected hardware. This was needed for Vista and Win7
(32 or 64bit), otherwise you had to Run as Administrator everytime you
started
DX4WIN.

Now from your previous message. 

>I am measuring voltages at the Serial Port, pin 4 of the Keying line(also
the pin 7 of PTT----does same.
>( I have USB to Serial Cable through a box for interface which

Did you use the schematic from the helpfile ? 

>Symptom=Keying and or PTT Lines remain "Key down, continuous" when any
attempt to send CW via Com Port.

Key up.

>But, once you try to send CW through DX4 WIn the keying is "key down" and
holds until you select "Stop Radio/then Start Radio".

This is strange, Don´t know if your meter is accurate but this doesn´t look
correct to me,
When you start keying the voltage at the serial port side should go HIGH
(positive compared to gnd)
After the serial resistor from 1k2 to the base of the transitor you should
have +/- 0.6V
For ptt it will remain high and the transistor will close to gnd , iow your
transceiver will be in TX
For CW the voltage will swing between high and low, you could try to
increase the resistor to check out if it will
Remain one tone, it looks to me that the cw transistor goes in saturation
and doesn´t switch anymore.
Why I assume this? Because you have it in V8.02 and V8.03 and it has never
been reported in versions 
Previous to 8.03
