Dave,
I'm not much of a paddle guy (although I was on the receiving end as a
child), I did plug a paddle into my Winkeyer. With the USB
disconnected, the rig won't key, so there is no "pass through". This is
kind of what I expected, since the unit draws it's power from the USB port.
Sounds like everything is good except for some setting within your
logging software.
I know Tom is using the same set up: rig, keyer, and software, so
hopefully the professor can get you straightned out.
73, good luck, Steve KW3A
