Sure Ed, but if I'm going to type the whole thing out I'm going to post it
to the DXBase group.

How I set up the microHam Keyer USB interface to use MMTTY and DXBase 2005
at the same time with help from Bill a.k.a. Firebrick:

1. microHam Keyer software port setting and other settings
   a. Ports Tab - Radio control = COM3, FSK=COM5, Win Key=COM1, CW=COM4 DTR,
       PTT=COM4 RTS, Foot Switch COM4 CTS
       (I use Win Key with DXBase and conputer generated CW on COM4 with
WriteLog and Foot Switch I
        use as hand switch to key Heil headset mic)
   b. PTT/FSK - all settings are default except WinKe PTT = none and
personal choice I've checked Mute
       computer CW and Mute computer FSK
2. DXBase Settings
       Set up MMTTY to launch in Programs menu
       Tools/Options..../Users Options....Radio 1 tab - Comport = COM3,
check Connect HF Radio 1 Serial
       Interface
       Tools/Options.../CW Options....CW Interface tab - check K1EL Winkey
External Board
       Tools/Options.../CW Options....Winkey Options tab - Pin 5 Config =
Tone and Comport = COM1
3. MMTTY setting
       Setup MMTTY TX tab PTT Port = COM5
       Setup MMTTY TX tab, Radio Control button Port = COM4 (not COM3)
       Setup MMTTY Misc tab, TX Port = COM-TxD(FSK)
       Setup MMTTY Misc tab, USB Port button, Processing method = C:
Limiting speed

Well I think that's it.  This setup does allows me to use DXBase and MMTTY
at the same time.  It also does everything I want to do with WriteLog.

Hope this helps. Bill a.k.a. Firebrick, did I forget anything?
