<div dir="ltr">OK folks, things may get confusing here, now that we have two different contesters named Bob Wilson on the Win-Test reflector (N6TV "Robert A. Wilson" and K4XAA "Robert W.

I'm a new user to both RHR and Win-Test. Been using RHR with the K3/0 Mini for ~ a week w/o issue. Installed my licensed copy of WT 4.25.0 last night. My problem is that I can't get WT to send cw! I have the basics working... DX Cluster, band map and band change work regardless whether initiated from WT, RHR web app, or the mini. I'm using the default config in WT for a K3, with the exception of baud = 9600, as specified by the RHR helper app.<div><br></div><div>Absolutely nothing happens when I attempt to send one of the F-key messages (and I've confirmed they're not blank)! Ditto for Alt-K sending. The WT default for K3 has DTR/RTS set to Always OFF/Always OFF. That didn't seem right, so I tried CW/PTT. Note that this setting kills auto-connect to DXCluster (it sent username too soon). I also tried it from the K3 end, tweaking Config:PTT-KEY. The default = OFF-OFF; I tried rts-dtr. Note that this setting causes me to lose control of RHR from the mini (just endless "WAIT..." in the K3 display). I'm thinking I'm close to a solution but can't find the "magic combination."</div></div></blockquote></div></div></div>
