That's what I do here under WIN98 and win95, depending on which computer I
have connected.
Works fine here, clean CW, and I sometimes run two copies of TR, one for
general logging and one for whatever the contest du jour happens to be. I
run one copy linked to the radio and the other copy in manual mode. I
found strange conflicts sometimes with both interfaced to the radio. Works
fine here. I also tried it under NT 4.0 and WIN2000, not expecting it to
work, but voila, works but with choppy CW. NT based systems won't give up
control of any resource without a fight.
