[PaQSO] Logging Programs

[John, K3CT]

Good to mention but not all radios and/or interfaces will allow radio 
control and CW sending on the same port. This may not be a concern for 
everyone.

Larry, have you had problems with USB to COM converters if just used to send 
CW? If so, I would try other programs before reaching a final conclusion. 
There are also several USB solutions that use the WinKey chip to send CW. 
One is available in kit form.

I am aware of some USB to COM Vista driver issues when used for radio 
control. Purchasing a compatible converter solves the problem.
