No, do as described in the manual. Your paddel should be connected to the control RemoteRig. At the radioend set the IC-7100 for straight key and connect the cable from the radio RemoteRig to the key jack on the IC-7100. I have tried and it works fb even with quite high latency from the internet connections (my radioend has 3G mobile broadband, not the best connection for streaming).

Hello Palle,
I am having trouble with my IC-7100 sending sensible CW as the CW is broken up, sometimes it sends the correct characters and sometimes not.
Could you let me know what your CW settings are please, for the IC-7100 and the remote rig boxes.
This is very frustrating as my IC 7000 worked fb on CW, now it is a whole new process to get CW working again.
Many thanks,
Andrew

PS,
I am using HRD and DM780 for the CW, the local CW sidetone from the remote rig is great. The connections are all as described earlier in this post.

You probably have a Internet connection with lot of jitter. If you set the PC to ping 50 times you will see it. The Key delay should be set to at least 50% of the normal variations in ping time. Try with 50 ms, it's no problem in practical use even if your jitter is not that big.

Hello Mike,
Thanks, CW all fixed.
The IC-7100 is absolutely great at the remote site, I could not recommend it highly enough.
SSB, CW, WSJT, WSPR, chirp radar simply great and a lot of fun.
73,
Andrew
