That will not wrok. Of course I want COMM PTT to wrok. I tried it anyway.

To all I have rewired my cables and rest my other programs. I now use THE 
SAME PROT for CW and PTT. It wroks, it is fine.

Ther reason I did not want to do this is becaseuse two dievices (RADIO and 
RIGBLASTER)  are now on the same calbe. It is not as convenient to break 
down this way unless I amke up soem connectors to allwo eay separation.  I 
also had to reset all my other programs to use Prt 2 which is the one I now 
use for both C and PTT.

My opinion which is obviously not shared is that CW and Other Modes are 
independent and should allow you to use PTT as an independent PORT control

I CANNOT use the same port as the radio control since the Kenwood, 
CORRECTLY I MIGHT ADD , requires that DTR be asserted or the radio control 
won't work. Even if mine did not, others correctly by standards do.

If I seemed a bit pedantic and a bit of a complainer, I am sorry for those 
ti offended.  Often people get insulted or upset when a new user criticizes 
a program that they have been using for a long time. It sort of becomes 
like the flag. You are not allowed to say anything about it and even when 
it is reasonable and correct. I understand that but I still feel I had a 
right to make this observation and request.

Let us let this thread end now.
