Hi David,
Just tried it myself! I don't normally use A C Log for CW keying. I found
I needed to set the port and then choose Winkeyer from the list. All worked
ok. Interestingly, if I tabbed back to the port and tabbed away, I got a
port error. I suspect the author did not think folk would be using the Tab
instead of the mouse pointer.
It might be worth checking your Winkeyer has actually gone to Com 2
permanently.

Hi Kelvin
Nice to see you on this forum.
Having dared to unplug and plug-in the keyer, I notice that it is on com6.
Oddly, I am being told that ports 3/4/5 are in use.
I am only using com1 to control the rig!
On the basis that lower ports are better, I have already moved to com2 for
Winkey.
Using the Winkey2 program, I seem to be able, sometimes, to address the
keyer and alter memories etc.
Currently I cannot.
If I go to ACLOG, and select Winkey, I get the error message that Winkey
cannot be connected through com0.
Having changed this in ACLOG to com2, still same error message.
I notice that a baud rate of 9600 shows for com2 in the hardware
configuration. Is this correct?
ATB

Hi David,
Firstly there is little difference, as far as I can see, between the setup
of a serial and USB Winkeyer, They will both select the next available Com
port.
I assume you are still using XP? I have never found an obvious way of
determining which Com port has been selected, but I guess it is shown
somewhere on the screen during installation, I have though got an inelegant
but fail safe method. Go to the Device Manager, and go to 'Ports. You will
be shown all the assigned Com and LPT Ports. Now, physically unplug your
Winkeyer, and you should see which Com port disappears. Then plug it back
in.
Let's say you now know it's port 12. Highlight this port, and press
Shift+F10 to Right click it and click Properties. Next, choose the Port
Settings tab. Tab down to advanced and click it.
You'll now be in a list of all possible Com port numbers, and you'll be on
port 12. You can now arrow up and down this list and change to a lower
port. You will be told which ports are already in use. If you choose a low
number, you can be sure any program will work with it. My own Winkeyer was
moved to Com 4. Personally, I found a reboot was needed to make sure the
change was made correctly.

Subject: [Active-Elements] winkey setup problem
Hi all
Hopefully someone can help.
I have installed the FTDI VCP drivers and am told through my hardware setup
that I have com ports 1-5-6.
1 is already used for the rig.
I then installed Winkey2 and tried to setup using com port 5-6 but am told
that keyer is unavailable when I chose one of these. For the hell of it,
looked at com 2-3-4 and got the same result.
All this even after shutting down the program and re-booting it.
No, I didn't make the error of plugging the key into a USB port first!
Any comments will be very welcome!
