[Dx4win] cw hang up from virtual serial port

[Jay Hainline]

I guess you can add me to the list of people having problems. I just bought 
a new computer with Windows 7 home premium 64 bit and a Rigblaster duo. Got 
it hooked up and as soon as I try to send a cw character in dx4win 8.03 it 
sends a solid carrier. I have to close dx4win to get it to stop.

Going through the Rigblaster's procedure to load drivers for the virtual 
serial ports into Windows 7, it assigned com ports 3 and 4 with com port 3 
set up for ptt and cw keying. I thought maybe this is a conflict and moved 
the cw keying to virtual com port 4 but this didn't work. It still hangs up.

I need to read through the archives of the reflector on this issue. With my 
old computer, I had been using a parallel port for cw keying with no 
problems in dx4win 8.03.

I also bought a usb to serial adapter cable that I have not hooked up yet. I 
was going to use it for CAT control of my Yaesu FT-2000. I think I will try 
it and see if it will send cw.
