[WT-support] Microkeyer: Couple of questions...

[Bob Wilson, N6TV]

I also found this
thread<http://www.f5mzn.org/pipermail/support/2009-December/079082.html>in
the archives.  G4GIR reported exactly the same problem.

He finally fixed
it<http://www.f5mzn.org/pipermail/support/2009-December/079094.html>by
replacing his USB-to-Serial adapter with a different one.

Are you using a USB-to-Serial adapter with an old Serial-Port microKeyer?
