[Dx4win] any upgrades?

Thu Mar 30 16:42:37 EDT 2023

ok I want to make sure I have this straight! In the microHam router 
software I have for DX4WIN CAT COM 8 and PTT  COM5; so now I could do 
for WSJT  2nd CAT COM 9 and 2nd PTT COM 10 and this will allow both 
programs to run at the same time. Under this setup will WSJT populate 
the log window in DX4WIN or do I still have to manually move info? 
thanks, Cort K4WI
