Yes N3FJP   programs send cw and the 2000 has a serial port  just like the 
old computer has. I have in my hand a serial cord and a gender  changer that 
will work with the 2000 as I have used it with mine in the  past.
Just have to hook it up and go have fun.

I  believe there is a serial on both the computer and TS-2000. The N3FJP 
has  
rig interfacing and the settings for both CW Generation and Phone   
Recording. It can also be networked with multiple operating positions for  
whole  
club contesting.

Again, I could be wrong on some of  this...I just got back into Ham  Radio 
3 
years ago after being off  the air for 37 years. My last QSO was in 1973  
or 
so...A while away  from usable computers and cell phones  LOL....73

It  all  depends on the computer.  Some of the old computers still have  
serial  
ports.  But all the later one have USB ports.   I don't know if  N3FJP 
logging 
program has CW capability or  not.  I, and also Ron  (WB3DOM) use WIN-EQF* 
software.  If  I remember correctly, I used  Logger 32 to do the same thing 
on  
the Isle of Man.  When you have  been sitting at the radio for  hours 
running 
pileups, fatigue sets  in.  The CW capability  of the logging program 
really 
helps in that   respect.

Hi...John a few weeks ago set up  the computer with  N3FJP's General  
Logger.
I hv been using it  for all my contacts as has  John. We are downloading  
all
contest  logs to it also. Yesterday, at  the Club, Ron, WB3DOM and I  were
discussing just what u r suggesting, Ron  knows more about it  then I, but I
believe he said all it would take now  that we hv a  computer log set up, 
is 
a
special cable from the ts-2000 to  the  computer and we are all set! I 
agree,
it would be a cheap and   productive addition now, especially for   
contesting.

Ron...Correct  me if I am wrong....73....Mike  WB3DEL

I  think  it  would be nice for the club to set up computer logging and   
with
the  computer logging, also CW sending.  Just about  every  year I operate 
as

DX.  Let's suppose W3ABC calls  me.  I type  W3ABC in the logging  screen 
and
then hit 1 on  the extended  keyboard.  This automatically  sends W3ABC 5nn 
 .
W3ABC then sends  his report to me and I hit 2 on the  extended  keyboard
which
sends  tu MJ/K3PLV up.  Then I hit F1 and   W3ABC is logged with  the
operating
frequency and mode  automatically  entered in the  log.  The memories can  
be
changed for any reply and  there are 10  of them, 1 through 10  on the
extended
keyboard.  I also  can  hit Ctrl K and  type what I want and what I type 
will
be automatically   sent as  CW.  If I have access to a paddle, I can also 
use
that  to   make comments.  So if someone I know calls me, I can chat   with
them
for a minute and then continue with the pile up.  This  is  not at all
expensive and is easy to set up.  Also for the  people that  prefer to  log
and
send CW the old conventional  way, they can still  do that.   Comments?

GM  ALL...Those participating in the   contest  were:

John...WB3IFD
Ron...WB3DOM
Mike...Sorry,  forgot his   call, but I believe he is the  Secretary
Mike...WB3DEL

I started  off  (shakily) at  contest start, 1:00, with Mike logging. I
quickly  found out I   could no longer copy 30-35 WPM!! We managed only  7
contacts
in  the  first 20 min.  After a while I discovered  it was  much  better  to
finish the contact completely, then, when   done  pass the info  to  Mike. .
It
allowed me to   concentrate better. Started gaining  speed...John showed    
up
with
coffee for me (thank you!). After  about a half hour  of  sweat pouring off
me, Ron arrived, sat down with pen  and  paper and  started calling off
exchanges
to Mike to enter in  the  log. I was  able to relax, concentrate on my
sending,  and  not worry  about  trying to copy 35 WPM. WHAT A  RELIEF!!

After I had been on the   key for an hour, Ron took  over with a beautiful
Vibroplex straight key.  I  had been using  my Kent Dual Paddle and was 
having
problems with  it.
He   started rattling off contacts at a fast pace. We had started  on 10M  
then
he  switched to 15M. After a while we all took a break  to  chat. I got back
on  for  a while, then Ron took it.  and  eventually switched to 20M.  
Another
break...More   chatting...2  or 3 more contacts and we decided  to call it  
a
day
at about   4:00

Results: 3 hours   airtime

Have not checked the log yet   but...

Contacts   72
Multipliers      28
Score       2016

Not too bad, I thing,   considering we must have spent  at least 45 minutes
off air  shooting  the breeze.

Next contests we  will participate in  is the weekend  of Jan. 18..The  
North
American QSO   Party-SSB and also The ARRL  January VHF  Contest. Need
operators  and  loggers!! Or if you  just come  to  kibitz, (Goggle  it!!)
that's   fine.

Please contact me if you can come via  e-mail or Cell#   814-795-4501, OR 
JUST
SHOW    UP!!

73's...Mike...WB3DEL
