OS:XP
Brand of Desktop =Dell B110
Real serial on boardTo be sure check in control panel|system|device manager
if the comport is installed ok
normally it should be   Yes it is and it works with V7.05/7.04
9600 = Baud
8 bits
None=parity
1 stopbit
None=flow control

DX4WIN SETUP
COMPORT = COM1 (on board)DELAY = 1
CW = DTR
PTT = RTS CW keying via com port 1 works with ver V7.05/7.04, not with V8.03 
with same everything.Cw just hangs and I have to select NO com port to turn 
it off with V8.03Now, I have tried the LPT Port and I like to run 2 radio's 
and key via the keyboard. V8.03 keys radio #1 CW Good but on radio #2 it 
just sends ditdah ditdah ditdahditdah ditdah no matter what I send via the 
keyboard. Also the LPT driver seems to slow the computer down????I have 
tried it on 2 computers (p4's 2.5g w/2g Ram )and I had to uninstall the 
driver to speed up my computers. Is anyone else having keying issues with 
XP????I have setup and run LPT port with V7.04 in the past with 2 radio's 
and had no porblem with my SO2R box. I don't know what is going on with 
V8.03??I have spent 2 days trying to find a solution. Like I stated before I 
can run the older versions with no trouble.Other programs WL/N1MM work fine 
so I have to say at this point it's DX4WIN V 8.03.Any help is 
appreciated,HNY Wayne N2WK
