[Elecraft] CW and VOX

[David Wilburn]

You are correct, I do not have an interface.  I stumbled across some 
setup for N1MM when I first got the K3 that used OFF-DTR.  So I have 
never mucked about with that, since it was working.

What do I set the rig to?  I'm not sure what the difference between 
RTS-OFF and OFF-RTS is.  I'll go download the latest manual and see if 
I can figure that out.

I do have dual USB / serial ports available, but am only using one at 
the moment. In the dual port scenario would the two serial ports on 
the computer be connected to the one serial port on the rig with a 
custom cable?

I was not aware that FSK could be done without a TNC or one of your boxes.

I'm going to come back to see you at some point when I try to get the 
K2 and K3 to play together with SO2R.  But that is down the road a bit.

Thanks again es 73
