There seems to be a problem configuring the
CWTYPE.ini file for the Active Com Port, PTT (RTS) and
CW (DTR) line usage. Ok, fire up your
favorite text editor and display the CWTYPE.ini
file. First off, are you going to use the VOX? I doubt it so page down to the section entitled [MOX] and set MoxOn=0 (MoxOn=1 for VOX). Ok now we need to set the Active Com Port and Com Port Type. Go to the section entitled [Osv_Cw] and look for the instruction KeyPortNumber. Set this to the com port you are going to use. Now look for KeyPortType and set it to 2. So far, so good. Now the plot thickens! We are going to tell the software if you are going to use the RTS line or the DTR line for switching the Key input of the Radio. It is HEX digits that the program writes to the register. So: While in Rx and Key Off, program writes KeyOffTxOff While in Tx, and Key OFF, program writes KeyOffTxOn While in Tx, and Key ON, program writes KeyOnTxOn While in Rx, and Key ON, program writes KeyOnTxOff This last one sounds a little strange but it does permit you to connect to some of the older rigs that use a negative voltage on the key circuit.
Remember this:
01 is DTR, 02 is RTS and 03 is both
DTR and RTS
The Semi and Full breakin switch on the rig works as normal. |
