[WT-support] Ver 4, SO2R, WinkeyerUSB

[hank.k8dd]

Second Output (Pin5) to Radio 2   ......  No - the display changes radios,
but the WinkeyerUSB does not.

But with that set and using Scenario 1 as Alternate CQ and making Primary
Radio F1:
$TR1 $RESET $R1R1 $F1 $ALTERNATECQ
And Secondary Radio F1:
$TR2 $RESET $R1R1 $F1 $R1R2
the dueling CQ works properly.
So it works like dueling CQ's should.

If I press * it switches radios on the screen, but the Winkeyer does not
switch until I press a F key - F4 to send my call.  It looks like the only
way to switch radios and use the paddle is to use an F key to send a dit.
Then the paddle will work.

Seems like it would be nice to have the * send the $TR# for the other radio,
but it should work like it is now.

On the secondary radio window the RX lights switch, but the TX lights don't
light.

I know the WinkeyerUSB is not a complete SO2R box, but I have a manual box
that lets me select L/R radio in both ears or a radio in each ear - kind of
crude I guess, but it works!

I've got it working sort of manual SO2R, no dueling CQs at the momentand the
lights on the secondary radio are working.  Not sure how I did it, but I'm
going to write it all down so I can duplicate it later!

Thanks for the ideas, Bob!
