[DXLog.net - Support] Still problems with Winkey

Hi,

Yes, I' m using exactly that configuration in Win-Test, but there are no 
"Handshake" options in the WinKey setup in DXLog. There I use DTR=Always ON 
and RTS=Always OFF. I ended with those options after talking to Chris via 
email a couple of weeks ago.

>From the WinkeyUSB manual:

"Winkeyer2’s baud rate is fixed at 1200 baud. The communications setup
should be set to eight bit data, 2 stop bits, and no parity."

So there is no way it is going to work at 9600 baud.

Jan, are you using 1200,N,8,2,DTR=Handshake, RTS=Handshake in the COM port
setup for the Winkey in DXLog.net?  That's what Win-Test uses as the
defaults.

I guess DXLog.net needs a "Use Winkey defaults" button like Win-Test, to
ease COM port setup, or all the settings should be ignored when
device=Winkey.

I didn't have any trouble getting the Winkey in a microHAM MK2R+ to work
with DXLog.net, but of course that's not quite the same hardware as the
WinKeyer USB.   The microHAM Router software probably does it's own Winkey
initialization whenever it is launched.
