If that does not solve your problem, then maybe copying the Logger32 INI from one PC to another was not such a good idea. Look for a file called Logger32.INI in the default Logger32 directory. Temporarily rename it to Logger32.OLD.INI.

Re: Support code question

 

Seems this is what the K1EL keyers have done for many years without the complication of trying to use CAT, internal keyers etc.? A lot of contest loggers can send
Ascii keying info and the k1el keyer takes that data to the standard cw key input on any radio.? Latency and cat protocol differences are all eliminated or reduced to workable levels this way.

Re: Support code question

 

It's been a long time since I wrote those, they're in VB6. As I recall they were both functional/working samples. The external interface is documented, but there's probably been added messages that won't be in the documentation . The internet lookup is probably not documented other than comments in the source code.. SeventyThree(s).
