Gaku,

These all work fine for me with WT4 and MK2R+.

The default key is Numeric Keypad [*], not Alt-* or Shift-*.  See

Perhaps you used DEFINEKEYS (Tools, Redefine keyboard
keys<http://docs.win-test.com/wiki/Menu:Tools#Redefine_keyboard_keys>)
with WT3 to remap these keys?

You may need to define these keys again, or you can try copying the
[RedefinedKeys] section of the old WT3 wt.ini file to the new WT4 wt.ini
file, using a text editor such as Wordpad.

The old WT.INI file is in C:\Program Files\Win-Test

To find the new WT.INI file, open WT4 and select File | Explore | /cfg
directory.

The default keys are:

Numeric Keypad [*]:  Swap main radio with secondary radio (Radio 1 / Radio
2)
Ctrl-S:  Swap freq. / mode between Radio 1 and Radio 2 (avoid using this if
you have any manual-tune amplifiers in use, or else you could easily damage
your amplifier or radio).

If you are using a regular full-sized keyboard with a separate numeric
keypad on the right, the asterisk key on that keypad should swap radios OK.
 If you are using a laptop keyboard, special steps are required to remap the
[*] key.

See this new section of the
Wiki<http://docs.win-test.com/wiki/Menu:Tools#Remapping_.5B.2A.5D_and_.5B.2B.5D_when_using_Notebook_or_Mini_keyboard>,
that I just added today, which explains better how to get the function of
PLUS and ASTERISK copied to more accessible keys.

Are you using the LPT connection to your MK2R+ or USB only?  If USB only,
you have to define *COMn: microHAM MK2R/MK2R* in Win-Test 4 Interface
configuration, where *n* is the COM port defined as your microHAM "Control"
port in the Router program.

If you still cannot get it to work, please send me screen shots of the
following:

   1. Win-Test Interface Configuration screen
   2. Win-Test LPT configuration screen
   3. Win-Test Tools | Redefine keyboard keys screen
   4. microHAM Router's Port tab
   5. microHAM Router's SO2R tab

See also this page<http://docs.win-test.com/wiki/SO2R/MK2R/Setup#Setting_up_the_MK2R_for_use_with_Win-Test>for
examples of how to configure the MK2R+ for use with Win-Test.
