Installing microHAM USB Device Router To install Router click on the Install USB Device Router link on the installation CD or download the most recent installation package from the microHAM web site: www.microHAM.com/downloads.html. Note: Router is updated regularly. Check the web site at: www.microHAM-USA.com/downloads.html...
During installation on Windows XP a driver certification dialog will appear. Ignore this message and click "Continue Anyway". If the USB driver is successfully installed, a "microHAM USB Device" should appear in the Universal Serial Bus controllers section of Windows Device Manager without any exclamation mark.
The microHAM USB Device Router (Router) program provides a Windows compatible configuration tool for microHAM USB Devices (MK2R or MK2R+ as well as DIGI KEYER, microKEYER, CW Keyer and USB Interfaces) and software interface to other Windows applications (logging software, digital mode software, etc.).
Automatically assign microHAM audio devices: when checked, Router will automatically assign proper audio device of the same name if multiple microHAM interfaces of the same kind are connected to the one computer. This setting does not apply to MK2R or MK2R+, it applies only to DIGI Keyer.
When clicked, Router will open a standard File dialog – the default location is: C:\Program Files\microHAM\template - and the desired template can be chosen. When Router loads a template, it looks for an html or txt file with the same name as the template in the same directory.

PAPTT will be activated immediately and PTT2 will be activated with the delay defined in PTT delay. This unique feature of microHAM products prevents hot switching during FSK operation. Because a radio in FSK operation begins to produce RF as soon as it enters the transmit mode, the application program cannot guard against hot switching.
The second way uses microHAM command protocol via a virtual port. Note: the microHAM protocol is under refinement in conjunction with the authors of most of the leading contest logging packages. Software developers who would like to implement native control of the MK2R and MK2R+ should contact OM7ZZ@microham.com.
