[WT-support] Back with new Desktop and my DX Doubler

Some years back, I tried and failed to achieve SO2R with a Sony laptop and
DX Doubler. That was because the laptop did not have a true LPT parallel
port. I now have a Windows 7 Dell Desktop, model XPS 8500, and installed a
PCI Express card with the parallel port.

 

Again, I cannot get WinTest to select the radio. The radios are an IC7600
and IC7000, which are controlled by WinTest through CI-V. This aspect of
control works fine. The LPT port shows up in the Device Manager as LPT3 and
the port numbers begin at D010.

 

I had to reinstall that little program DLPORTIO, which resolved one issue. I
have configured the LPT with the D010 address but it's interesting that this
setting is lost if I restart the program. I configured for Active Radio, Pin
14. I started up a contest and set for SO2R. DX Doubler in Auto. But, no
radio switching.

 

Any thoughts? Thank you again. 73, Bruce K6ZB
