I am keying an Epson Oscillator with a 10k resistor in series with the collector of the NPN transistor. I am using pin 2 of the LPT port. Pins 18 thru 25 are tied together and to the transmitters ground. I am not getting any keying and don't see any change in voltage on pin 2. I have tried a DOS program from Lyle (K0LR) and his program didn't switch any of the lines either. Is there something I need to do in Windows to get the port running??? I am ready to give up and go with a memory keyer real soon. Thanks es 73's, Mike>WE0H http://www.we0h.us/lf.html 185.303kc QRSS/CW ID is "WE" Not on yet...
