We are trying to use WriteLog's software lockout in a multi-single effort in SS 
CW this weekend.  We set up 3 computers with WL using parallel port keying.  We 
networked the computers and linked two of the computers to the third.  When we 
select RTTY Single TX Lockout - First One Wins we get a green rectangle around 
"Radio" on radios B and C, but not on radio A.  When radio A transmits it turns 
the rectangles on the other two radios red and they are prevented from 
transmitting.  If they are already transmitting then the transmission is 
aborted.

When radio B and C transmit they do not block each other or radio A and the 
rectangles remain green.

Switching to Last One Wins on all the computers does not change the behavior at 
all.

Has anyone successfully used WL's lockout feature on CW?  The observed "Radio A 
Wins" behavior does not prevent simultaneous transmission by Radios B and C and 
is not the same as either First or Last One Wins.
