[Dxbase] DXBase 2006 + WinKey via micro KEYER

Thu Aug 11 08:26:32 EDT 2005

Hi Chuck,
The router version I have is v.2.1.5 with WinKey v.10. The Keyer has power
and is working fine as either a standalone or with another logging program I
have been testing it with. After I configure DXBase and initialize the port
I get a message "Unable to open <K1EL CW> comport. This feature will be
turned off." Also, the micro Keyer stops working until I power the
keyer/interface down and restart it.
On the microHAM reflector there is mention that DXBase may have a problem
with the new version 10 of WinKey.
Please understand, I am not pointing a finger at anyone, I am just trying to
understand the problem. After all, the problem might be me and then I would
have to pull a foot out of my mouth. <grin>
If anyone, including the good folks at Scientific Solutions can shed light
on this mystery please jump in.

Eric,
I'm using DXBase 2006 with the microHam keyer with the latest (V. 2.0)
router software and firmware upgrades. I believe my keyer has the v. 9 K1EL
keyer chip in it. Works great with the Omni 6 here for CW. 
I wonder if you have external power (13.8V) hooked up to your microKeyer?
