does this 1 to 2 second delay on the second radio has to do with the <a href="http://flyspray.win-test.com/index.php?do=details&id=305" target="_blank">Task #305</a> cause the first time I tx on the second radio everything is ok, but after that first time the radio will TX only 1 to 2 second after I pressed the F4 key, or whatever other key.<br>
</blockquote><div><br></div><div>This usually indicates that the microHAM software is failing to return PTT status to Win-Test. Win-Test is waiting for an acknowledgement from the microHAM router that the PTT is closed, before it will send any CW. If the acknowledgement is not received, the CW will be delayed by 1 or 2 seconds.</div>

If you disable that port and use LPT or COM port DTR lines for CW keying, all of these problems will go away. You don't have to use the LPT port; you can use virtual COM ports for CW keying and PTT.</div>

In other words, disable all PTT options in Router and Win-Test. That will avoid all software generated delays.</div>
