   YES!!  I had the same problem (PTT always asserted) come up
   suddenly with the RigBlaster Plus interface to my K2.

   I sent the interface back to WestMountain, fearful that the
   transistor controlling the PTT output had failed.  They
   returned it (three weeks later counting round trip shipping)
   stating that it was operating correctly and that there may
   have been a change in how Win XP handles ports (it started
   doing that after several Win XP upgrades were installed).

   I changed the setting of the port in MixW to those that you had
   posted, and lo-and-behold I was back on the air just in time
   for the RTTY contest, which I did not participate in!
