Although I know that other softwares, I don't like the idea to control 
the radio PTT via the serial port. Actually, the serial COM port in WT 
is managed by a separate thread which is not running with high priority 
(except for the CW/PTT) and the PTT events could be delayed. It is 
probably not really what you are looking for...
