No need to get hung up over LPT port keying.
Serial port keying works fine under Win XP on laptops. During WW CW at
ZA1A, we had a laptop with WinXP at every station... and
we used serial port CW keying on the same port that controlled the radio. It
worked perfectly. The interface is no more difficult
to wire up than an LPT interface. Details are in the WL Help pages.

Subject: Re: [WriteLog] LPT port keying from laptop
There has to be someone out there who has their lap top LPT with Windows XP
successfully keying their rig using Writelog. I have followed USERPORT
directions to a T and I get crappy broken up code from the conversation mode and
nothing from the contest mode(s). I have had a lot smarter people than me
working
on ths and they are stumped- Can anyone please shed some light on what I need
to do, buy, or reexamine or is just a case of bag it since I have XP and go
to N1MM or something else- 4 days of piling
frustration..................................any help greatly appreciated.
Regards,
Paul N0AH
