I am successfully using the new W5XD Multi-Keyer with WriteLog, the
contesting program. However with DXBase it does not work, and in fact when
typing some CW into DXBase the program locks up, apparently awaiting I/O
completion.
The MultiKeyer uses a single COM port to both do radio control and CW
generation, and I am using COM1 at 9600.
I suspect the problem could be that DXBase supports the old W5XD keyer, not
the new W5XD Multi-Keyer. The WriteLog program supports both the old and
the new, and if I set WriteLog for the old keyer, then it does not work with
WriteLog either.
But if anyone has gotten DXBase2002 to work with the W5DX Multi-Keyer please
let me know.
If a change is needed in DXBase, then I will have to rely upon Jack to put
this in the next release?
