Ed,
    Sorry, PTT keys and stays keyed (I have an LED on my home brew RS232 interface for CW/PTT/FSk, and the Radio is in TX, no CW sent unless I hit an F key, then it sends, but stays in TX)
CW Generation is "PC generates".
This hardware combination does work with N1MM and DXLabs for proper CW, with OR without PTT being used.  I normally run QSK so no PTT is normally used, but did test with the other software to insure my hardware is good.  I use the same RS-232 interface for RTTY with TXD for FSK and RTS for PTT. I de-select the port in rttyrite when doing CW to prevent conflicts.
Thanks,

Hi, Gordon.

What does "keys and stays keyed" mean?  PTT or CW keying?  Which CW generation method is selected in WL?

Hi,

   I'm setup for the NEQP, SSB works fine.  when I switch to CW the
radio keys and stays keyed, can not find what I have setup wrong.

Radio - Kenwood TS590sg   Ports set to COM18 115200  - works fine,
tracks radio frequency/mode

CW - COM 7  DTR= CW  RTS= PTT


CW Options:

PTT Control (CW Mode ONLY)   None (QSK)   selected (tried "as specified
in Ports", no difference)

PTT to CW delay 0

PC generates sends CW space on startup  - Checked  (also tried unchecked
- no difference.


What else should I check?

This used to work, so don't know what changed except upgraded to 12.59F
, so downgraded to 12.56c, no change.


The same hardware setup works with N1MM and DX Labs, so I know the
hardware is good!!!!

Thanks,

Gordon - N1MGO
