Hello Paul,Please could you advise me here. Will SD key my IC7400 via a USB 
CT-17 cable. I have used SD for many years now? as a logger on SSB contests . I 
won one in 2015!.?Now I want to use SD during the RSGB CC80m CW contests . I 
have seen on eBay a USB CT-17 cable, as sold by G0OYQ . He sells all type of CI 
leads etc. I asked him the above question but he suggests that I ask your good 
self.Many thanks ,Roger G3MGW

The USB-17 cable referred to serves only for rig control.? It's a perfectly 
good option for rig control but will not faciltate CW keying on the IC7400, 
because that rig does not support a text to CW feature.

CW keying is entirely separate from rig control - you can have either or both.? 
For keying, the options are SD's internal keyer, or an external keyer such as 
WinKey or the microHAM CW Keyer.? With SD's internal keyer, smooth CW cannot be 
guaranteed (but it may be OK) because of interruptions from Windows.? To use 
SD's internal? keyer, refer to CW KEYING on page 6 of the manual SD.PDF - it 
requires a USB to serial converter (for PCs with USB outputs) and a simple 
1-transisitor/resistor level converter as described.

WinKeyer USB is, by far, the simplest keying solution- it is supported by all 
logging programs.? The UK distributor is Kanga UK 
https://www.kanga-products.co.uk/ but they seem to be closed at present.? 
Here's the USA site - https://www.k1elsystems.com/WKUSBX.html
or https://www.k1elsystems.com/WKmini.html

I don't recommend the microHAM CW keyer because it uses a separate control 
program for setting parameters, and it does not recognise some of SD's relevant 
setup commands. However, it has the big advantage of supporting both 
rig-control and CW keying in a single unit -
