[WT-support] Again: MK2 & Delay

[Bob Wilson, N6TV]

Matthias,
There were a couple of long threads on this subjects back in October, 2008.


See http://www.f5mzn.org/pipermail/support/2008-October/ and search for "MK2
& Delay".

Suggestions:  try a higher baud rate for the MK2 control port, or use LPT
port pins for DVK control instead of USB (disable MK2 "Control" port), check
for other software running at same time, etc.

73,
Bob, N6TV
