Keyer and PTT question
« on: 2013-12-12, 12:25:11 »
HI,

I still need help to understand Keyer and PTT behavior.

What I have:
-Keyer is working
-PTT is working with externall foot switch
-USB Winkey CW keying works with UA9OV CwType, DX4WIN and WinTest but Winkey never manipulate PTT.
Tried different computers with different OS, even Winkey via genuine COM port (to COM1 on RemoteRig). The
same.

Does RemoteRig has two sepparate PTTs -one from "footswitch PTT"
and other - from Winkey Or CW PTT doesn't exist at all?
I see OUT1 and OUT2 on radio side has "mode 5" - Keyer PTT - shuold I parrallel it with "footswitch PTT"
at radio site?

I tried to play with "USB RTS as PTT" on all ports "blindly", no success.

I am connecting my old slow PA to the system, so I don't like to use VOX, QSK or "PTT activated by keyer"
(which works FB), since I go from 8 to 35 WPM and delays are very different.

My setup:
I use COM2/0 for K3 twins, COM1 in mode 3 - as generic COM port and COM_FSK - for Winkey.
Works FB, made some QSOs, PA not connected yet, audio settings in "radio settings" menu - changed from "mode 2" to "mode - 5" - SSB was somehow not very readable for me in mode 2 (16 bit 8 kHz)
even with narow filter, FB now with 16 bit 12 kHz.
I had humm on SSB at start, but solved that replacing power supply for controll RRC - voltage was lover than
12V.


Thanks
