Good morning,

I am reading and searching the PDF instruction manual for the WSJT 
software which I have recently installed.

I see several references to using the Serial Port to control T/R of the 
radio. I also see where to setup and select the port that you want to 
use. However, I see no diagram or listing of the pinout configuration of 
the serial port. I don't know which pin of the serial port controls the 
PTT. Also, it would be really nice if there were a direct CW key on one 
of the serial port pins. For instance, the Rigblaster plus that I plan 
to use has  PTT control using the RTS pin and direct CW keying on the 
DTR pin. I suppose it is asking too much to find that the same 
convention is used on the WSJT software. That would be too easy--hi.

So...I need the pinout info for the serial port interface.

Thanks in advance.

73,

Dave, K4TO
