It is possible to use the same COM port for Rig control including PTT and
CW.Use pins 2 and 3 to connect CAT , pin 4 (DTR) for CW, pin 7 (RTS)
for PTT and pin 5 as a common ground on COM1 DB9 connector (DB25
has different pinouts)..I have done this with FT-1000 and it works fine.In
you need more clarification , e-mail me and I will provide wiring diagram.
