I'm trying to make Winkey work using the control RRC.

I understand that I'm supposed to set the COM3/COMextra port to Winkey, point N1MM+ at that, and we are good.

Here's the problem:  The manual does not reflect what we see on screen.  I totally understand technically what to do, but can't figure the UI out.

My serial settings has:
Serial settings

COM1 mode   
COM1 baudrate   
COM1 data bits   
COM1 stop bits   
COM1 parity   
COM1 rts/cts   
COM1 terminator (hex)   
    
COM2 mode   
COM2 baudrate   
COM2 data bits   
COM2 stop bits   
COM2 parity   
COM2 terminator (hex)   

That's it.  And the mode has no WINKEY setting or COMextra.

ON I/O settings,
I have Out0 mode, Out1 mode and Out2 mode -- none of which have a Winkey setting in the drop down (Thought it does have some RTTY options).  (Is Out2 COMExtra???)

Trying to set this up for IARU, so quick help is needed.

I also see W4RM has same issue...  The UI has changed and no documentation on how to configure?  Please help.

The firmware and manual are inconsistent:

COMEXTRA = COM3

Change COM3 mode to Winkeyer and use the virtual serial port COMEXTRA in the Windows Device Manager.

Where is the setting for COM3?  I see it nowhere.

In the serial settings menu.
