[WT-support] FT100D, need some advice

[Antonio Galiana]

Hi Bob!
Many thanks for your help.
All is ok now.

I did the following:

First: Start Digi Keyer (MicroHam) router and configure:
ComPort: Com4 for the radio (set as "no rig (Digital operation)"
CW port: Com5 DTR
PTT port: Com5 RTS

Second: Configure Omnirig (thanks VE3NEA) as follows:
Rig Tipe: FT100D
ComPort: Com4
Baud Rate: 4800
Data Bits: 8
Parity: None
Stop bits: 2
RTS: Low
DTR: Low
Poll int: 500
Timeout: 4000

Third: Configure WINTEST interface as follows:
ComPort: Com5
Device: MK/MKII>9600-8-N-1
DTR (pin4): CW
RTS (pin7): PTT
Active with: Radio 1

An that's all!
Now my setup works fine and tomorrow morning I will be active as EA1DX/5
from VGA-052 (top of Sierra Gorda Hill) with a couple of friends in
different VG's trying to spend a pure & healthy sunday radio morning.

Thanks to all of you guys and very specially to you Bob!

73 ;)
