[Dx4win] Re: FT-1000D Keying

[Howard Klein]

Thank you for the several helpful replies.

To summarize:
1.You can use either serial or LPT ports.

2.You can use the LPT port or a serial port RTS or DTR.  Info is in the 
manual I have used all the methods and think the LPT port works best.

#3. It is in the DX4WIN documentation on pg. 36 states that it is possible 
to use the same serial port for CW keying as rig control as the
pins used for rig control and CW keying are different pins. ..ROG..K9RB


4. DB25 pin 1: connect to 2N2222 emitter DB25
pin 2: connect a 1K resistor in series with the 2N2222 base
2N2222 collector: pulls the keying line to ground. Mark..K6FG

Bill .. W5VW and Bill.. W8EB had similiar suggestions.

5.For anyone who has done the same with an Icom it is essentially the same.

Thank you again to all.
