[WT-support] problems with win-test and micro-keyer

[Bruce Elbert]

Rick, I had a similar problem with the WinKeyer USB, XP and WT 4.2. It would
run for a while, then the CW would stop suddenly. I would have to reboot the
program, pull the USB cable from the keyer, and put it back. Then it might
run for a while. I thought it might be RF induced because it seemed to tie
in with running full power (KW) to the antenna.

 

Well, it settled down after a while and I was able to finish the contest
without a hitch. I'm thinking of installing more RF ferrite isolators in
various lines to the keyer, etc.

We had a number of problems with Win-Test and MicroKeyer this weekend...I am
wondering if anyone else did too??

 

I am currently using ver 3.26 on 19 station computers...I have 11
MicroKeyers and prior to this weekend they have performed flawlessly...it
started at the beginning of the contest...a number of MicroKeyers would not
talk to Win-Test at all... some of the keyers would not send even send
cw...random dits or dahs....we spent a number of hours trying to load the
system up using a standard format...what is strange is that some of the
computers did not have a problem...but there were 6 or 7 that were a
bear....is there a know problem with Win-Test and the MicroKeyer?? My
stations computers are all using the same version on Windows
XP................do I need to go to Ver 4??

Thanks in advance
