[WT-support] WT4 and MicroHam USBII problems

[Bob Wilson, N6TV]

First, don't rely on PC speaker noises to judge the quality of CW being sent
by Win-Test.  Type NOSOUND [Enter] and ignore it.

Please send me screen shots of your Win-Test SETUP and Router Ports setup.

What is COM5 defined as in the microHAM Router program?  If it is the CW and
PTT port, then the baud rate doesn't matter.  Set CW port to DTR, set PTT
port to RTS.

Then you just have to change the DTR and RTS lines to CW and PTT in
Win-Test, using the drop-down box in the COM port configuration dialog.

73,
Bob, N6TV
