[Dx4win] CW Keying

Sat, 9 Nov 2002 23:53:13 -0500

If the 1000mp is anything like the FT920, you may have your cake and eat it 
too.... I use CW keying from DX4WIN and my paddle.  I have connected the 
paddle on the front panel and my computer keying cable in the back of the 
rig.  I have a switch on the back of the rig that disables the Keyer for 
the rear jack.  The jack in the back of the rig is now set to straight key 
mode and the key jack on the front of the radio uses the built in 
keyer......

Might want to double check the 1000MP rear panel again.   Let me know what 
you find.

Larry, that is OK if your paddles are connected to an external keyer.  The
LPT output should go to a manual key input, i.e. you can't attach that to a
paddle input to an internal keyer.

I've seen a lot of people use a Y connector from their rig's mono key 
input,
one side to their computer and the other side to the output of an external
keyer.  GL - 73  John, WA9ALS
