That's gutter (lazy) programming.  The sound card output endpoint
should be opened when the program switches to transmit and closed
when the program returns to receive.

"Sound card PTT" relies on the internal flag (which is bought out
to a status pin on the CODEC chip) that indicates whether the end-
point is open or closed in order to generate PTT.  *DISABLE* Sound
card PTT by unchecking the box in microHAM Router (PTT Tab).

Please refer to the Users Manual for your microHAM interface.

Please use <return> or <enter> between lines ... your use of HTML makes
your postings nearly unreadable.

Yes, that will work.

>> At Program start, the PTT/CAT settings window comes up every time.

That appears to be the nature of the software.  For some reason it
requires electing the PTT/CAT settings each time the program starts
rather than settings in the ini file.

You will need to make sure no other program is currently using the
CAT Port.  Windows does not allow sharing of ports.  Any program using
a port must close (release) the port before another program can open
(begin using it).

These issues are not functions of the microHAM hardware or software -
they are limitations of the application software and user understanding
of Windows.
