[WT-support] CONTEST RECORDER

[Bob Wilson, N6TV]

On the Advanced tab of the sound card, under Exclusive Mode, did you check
both boxes?

[x] Allow applications to take exclusive control of this device
[x] Give exclusive mode applications prioirity


Some other program may also be using the sound card, or more than one copy
of Win-Test is running, or the Win-Test shortcut is not marked "Run as
Administrator" as recommended.

Is the same device also seleced as a voice keyer (DVK) in Win-Test?  Using
one sound card for both may not work.  Are you using a microHAM MK2R+ sound
card or a sound card built into the radio?

73,
Bob, N6TV
