Hello Ed and Rich,

Implementing a fast CW keyer with all the goodies such as variable speed, 
memo etc.. is not a simple task.
So far I stayed away from this as I believed that there is plenty of fast 
CW software available and there is no need of re-inventing the wheel.

A much simpler task however is to change the configuration of the LPT  (or 
COM) port in QRS, to make it identical to DX4WIN or whatever is your 
favorite fast CW software.
Just let me know what pins are used (for key and for PTT) ...

73, Rik ON7YD
