Re: [WriteLog] W5XD keyer, footswitch

[Jerry Pixton <jpixton@shentel.net>]

Clive,

I have just used this feature a lot this week end. My foot switch has a 
mono plug which I just plug into the Keyer. I don't have a diagram quickly 
available but this works fine. The PTT is steered to Radio Left or Radio 
Right as the focus changes in WL. The PTT signal is in parallel with other 
PTT signals needed.

I just had to check the CW mode also works. I have LPT pin 16 selected in 
the CW PTT dialog.
