[WT-support] re: CW transmision & monitoring with laptop usb

[EA5BM Juan Luis]

Hi again boys

Thanks to all for answering and for your help.

 The first problem has been solved building a com interface  connected to an usb to serial port adaptor and configuring the WT properly as per web instructions, It transmits CW and active the PTT OK.

The second problem remains unsolved. The laptop speaker works ok, testing with other programs or reading audio CD, playing music, windows sounds, etc but not using the WT (nor runing CT win) , the command sound/nosound has been activated and deactivated several times and no difference..........no sounds, no monitoring cw. It seems as a magic show. ¿¿¿???¿¿¿??? 

Any idea?

Juan, EA5BM

Hi there guys

 I am Juan EA5BM new wintest user. For now I am playing with this soft and I will test in proper contest. 

I have a few problems with this soft that I try to expose: I have installed the registered version of WT into a new laptop running winXP but  without serial and paralell ports (db9 and db25), all the conectors are USB :-(((((.

The first problem is how to transmit cw thorugh a usb port. DLPORTIO.SYS and .DLL files have been installed to avoid the "DLPORTIO.SYS device driver not loaded ...." windows mistake message. I have purchased an usb to db25 printer port adaptor, but wintest seems that do not recognize it as LPT 

This usb adapter is recognized by winXP in control panel/system/hardware as a Universal Serial Bus controller/ USB printing Suport but not as LPT or emulled LPT. 

¿What can I do? 

The second problem (not sure if consecuence of the first) is that I can not hear de cw transmited running WT. The laptop speaker runs OK in all programs but not in WT. (f.e. pushing F1, the CQ is not heard on laptop, of course in a CW contest) 

¿ Any idea about what is happening? 

As you can deduce I am not computer techincal. 

Any answer and any help will be appreciated. Juan, EA5BM
