[Dxbase] RE:DXBase sets K1EL WinKey to PTT?

[Chuck Guenther]

Art,

Assuming  you don't have pin 5 of the WinKey wired to anything,  and you have the "lead-in" and "tail" delays programmed to zero, I would think your QSK should work fine.    

Since I don't have a QSK amplifier, I use the PTT feature of WinKey with pin 5 wired to key my amplifier and the key output wired to my transceiver.  I program the delays to avoid hot-switching the amplifier.  

With QSK, I think you would want to set the "pin 5 config" option in DXbase (under Tools, Options, CW options, WinKey options) to "tone."  However, that shouldn't be necessary if pin 5 isn't wired to anything.

Hi,

Every time I start DXBase 2005 it sets my K1EL WinKey to PTT.  I like to use 
it QSK so I have to always reset it to turn off the PTT.  Anyone know know 
to keep DXBase from doing this?  I see no settings in the CW Options that 
allow you to turn it off.
