[Dx4win] Fw: Re: Info on Setup

[Hugh Valentine]

I have 2 computers, both Vista, one 32 and one 64 Bit.
I used it on Ver 7.5 on the 32 Bit.  I purchased a new 64 Bit Vista Laptop and Ver 8.03 at the same time and downloaded Ver 8.03 to both, keeping Ver 7.5 on one.

Keying failed to work.

I Uninstalled both Ver 8.03 and downloaded Ver 8.02.  Still have keying problem using Ver 8.02 now.

Dead in water.

Computer works fine with keying circuit using N1MM program.

Tried cutting my wrist, but all I had was an Electric Razor.  Anyone have some Cyanide Capsules?

Just to confirm something Hugh. The issue that Jim is referring to was 
never reported with 8.02, only 8.03. Are you saying you have the same 
issue running 8.02? BTW, I tried to duplicate this problem on 4 
different computers with .03 and it works fine... I think Paul and beta 
testers have tried it on more than a dozen.

(Also, software to USB/Serial cable is latest and for Vista 32 and 64 bit...certified cable.)  Radio is "On" mode and connected to Ft-920 and CAT control is fully enabled and tracking.  Poll rate 5000ms( Changed from 500 to 5000 to see if matters-no changes)

Once I send CW through the DX4WIN Keyer, the voltage goes to .4 Volts and the Ft-920 keying line is sending one continuous note on cw and will not let up unless you either exit the program and start over, or "Stop Radio".  When you select "Start Radio" again, the voltage goes back to 6.4 volts at the Transistor(s) and radio.  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".
