WINKEY USE
(1/1)
EY8MM:
Hi,
I would like to use Winkey feature for CW but seems like I am missing something important. Please advice.
Control UNIT
I have connected to USB port on Control UNIT. It built 4 Virtual COM ports. Not sure which one to use for CW key (or Winkey).
Radio Unit
I connected to radio through IO port. Paddle working fine.
So need advice in settings how to use one of 4 USB virtual ports for CW (Winkey)?
Thanks!

Hello Nodir
on your Radio Unit: Keyer settings: PTT activated by Keyer: Yes, PTT delay ms: 10
on your Control Unit:
- Keyer settings: Enable
- Serial Settings: COM3 (Extra) mode (USB-COMFSK) : Morse-8 Winkeyer
- I/O Settings: IN0 mode: Keyer, OUT0 mode : Keyer
You must use the provided USB cable. In your Windows Device Manager the following is shown:
RRC1258 COMExtra (COMxx). Use this COM port in your Logging software (N1MM+) for the Winkeyer:
Config -> Config Ports, Mode Control, Winkey -> Hardware : COM11 tick CW/other -> tick Winkey.
N1MM+ will then send CQ etc. correctly to the Radio Unit. I can send you my printscreens if you like. FSK for RTTY can be configured as well, it needs a connection between the radio unit and the FSK input of the TRX.

Sorry, I replied to the wrong message.
Christian, like Nodir I am using the Winkey feature in the RRC1258, but I have not been satisfied with the quality of my CW. I use a Begali Contour paddle into the PAD jack of the RRC1258, but I do not believe the quality of my transmitted CW is an issue with the paddle. When my radio is off, I can monitor my paddle with external speakers connected to the SP jack on the Control RRC, and I am sending near-perfect code. My remote setup is a pair of Yaesu FT5000's in Yaesu Twin configuration. I also use N1MM Plus Logger, but I was confused by the structure of your reply to Nodir. I would appreciate copies of your printscreens for the Control RRC I/O screen, and also your N1MM Hardware, Winkey and Mode Control screens. I should not be sending sloppy CW. Thank you.
