[Dx4win] any upgrades?

Thu Mar 30 13:20:39 EDT 2023

Hello Cort

Even I am enemy of ft8 mode I agree that it would be good to add it in 
dx4win for everyone uses it.

Meanwhile because you use microkeyer, you can add a 2nd virtual cat port 
in microham's router and use both programs. Dx4win with the first cat 
port and ft8 software with the 2nd. Does it work for you?
