Dave:
The rig interface functions in the N3FJP software are for controlling the
TS590 itself, and shouldn't affect what you are trying to do here.
There should be a winkeyer set up menu in the A C Logging software, so make
sure it is recognizing what key jack you are connected to--i.e. key jack 1
or 2.
If you tab through the settings, you should come up to that set of options.

Hi Steve,
Yes, I get the Windows sound when the USB cable is plugged in and I get the
R from the Winkeyer. I have the TS-590 in break-in mode and the paddles
plugged into the Winkeyer sends CW with the Winkeyer sidetone and also the
TS-590 sidetone. The only problem I have is that the stored messages in the
ACLog don't go out. That sounds like the USB line isn't being used. I'll
check again to make sure the correct com port is selected, but I don't think
that is the problem. I know you aren't using the ACLog program, but there
is another setup for rig interface that appears to be for reading
thTS-590 frequency, mode, etc. I don't think that section is relevant for
the Winkeyer control, but I may be wrong.
73,
Dave, W7OQ
