<DIV>Then, if it doesn´t support CW/PTT, what´s the other COM-port for? I can
see COM 3(used for CI-V) and COM 4 when directly connected via USB between
radio and PC and I haven´t any interface...yet.</DIV>

<DIV>Well, this really isn't a Win-Test question. It would be better to
post this to the <A href="http://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/icom7100/info"

<DIV>In the mean time, I downloaded the <A

target=_blank>IC-7100 manual</A>, and did a FIND (Ctrl+F) for "Serial".</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>On page 1-18, I found the following:</DIV>
<DIV>
<DIV>
<UL>
<LI>Two COM port numbers are assigned to the [USB] connector. One of
them is “USB1,” used for cloning and CI-V operation. The other one is “USB2,”
whose function is selected in “USB2 Function” item of the “Connectors” Set
mode. (p. 17-25) SET > Connectors > USB2/DATA1 Function > USB2
Function </LI></UL></DIV>

<DIV class=gmail_extra>This is not CW or PTT. So, you either need to buy
or build one of the following:</DIV>

<OL>
<LI>If your PC has no "real" serial ports or parallel ports, a USB-to-Serial
adapter using FTDI or Eltima drivers (<I>not</I> Prolific), such as the <A

USA-19HS</A>.
<LI>A COM port keying circuit, like <A
href="http://docs.win-test.com/wiki/Interfaces#COM-port_CW_keying"
target=_blank>this one</A>. Use one transistor for DTR (CW) and a second
one for RTS (PTT).</LI></OL></DIV></DIV>
