Hi Steve What is the difference between a Winkeyer_USB and Winkey2? As I mentioned in my previous, the FTDI driver seems to have produced Com 5 and 6, but I can't seem to find Winkey2 as the device associated with either of them despite selecting either in the Winkey setup program. I must admit to be on the outskirts of my hardware interfacing knowledge on this one! 73 ATB David W Wood -----Original Message----- From: For blind ham radio operators [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Steve Forst Sent: Saturday, December 29, 2012 5:53 PM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Re: winkey setup problem David, Just a shot in the dark (so to speak). Have you gone into device manager and confirmed your ports are working ok? I know you can also rename comm ports in device manager to do away with a conflict or to find a port number a particular device will be happy with. I'm using a Winkeyer USB, so don't have to worry about comm ports for this one. 73, Happy New Year, Steve KW3A On 12/29/2012 11:36 AM, David W Wood wrote: > 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.
