You are not the first to see this problem.  First, in Win-Test, try SETUP
[Enter] [Enter] to reset and reinitialize communications with all COM ports,
including the microkeyer port.  Does that help?

Second, what is the exact model of microHAM device you are using?  MK, MKII,
MK2R, MK2R_, u2R?

What version of Win-Test are you running?  Recent fixes include better
support for u2R.

Make sure you only have ONE method of sending CW:   microHAM on COM port.
If you also have CW keying defined on any COM port *pins* or the LPT port,
get rid of that.

If you still can't see it, send me a screen shot of your Interfaces
Configuration window and your Router ports window.

2. How do I search the archives of this list, so as to avoid asking the same

Use the search box at http://www.win-test.com/rubrique.php3?id_rubrique=1720.

There are also links to the entire archive on that page.
