[WT-support] FT-1000MP + Soundcard DVK

[F6IFY]

Hi Simon and list,

 Try in Menu Option/Configure Interfaces... Press button "Configure" in Com1
(where you have the 1000MP) and select in the drop down list "RTS (Pin 7)"
PTT.
It must work if 1000MP does not need handshake on his com port. Sorry I
can't try myself.

Hope this help.
