I'm using this keyer with other applications - CQRlog and TR4W with Wine. No problem, the keyer is silent. So it must be the Winkeyer support routine used in trlinux...

Martin,
I see.  That's strange. I just tested and
CW TONE = 0
turns off the sidetone with my homebrew version which uses a K1EL Winkeyer
3.0 chip.  According to the website, K1EL is not shipping the 3.1 version
chips now due to supply issues, so I can't buy and test one. The change
document only shows changes up to 3.0, so that is not helpful, but it
appears from the data sheets that the main difference is the addition
of RTTY keying in version 3.1.

I am at a loss as to why CW TONE = 0 is not working for the newer chip.

Kevin,

TNX but does not work here. Works with my home built keyers but not with
Winkey 3.1 - it is initialized to its default state which has sidetone = on.
CW TONE = 0 does not override it ... this is THE PROBLEM...

in LOGCFG.DAT (or equivalent) should turn off the sidetone.

Among others I own also the Microham DXP which has a Winkeyer v.3 chip
inside. The bad thing is that at every start the Winkeyer is initialized to
the default Host Mode state which means that the sidetone is on.

The sidetone is actually needed only in Command Mode, otherwise the keyer
should be silent. Now I must switch off the sidetone with A command after
every program start which is annoying. What I missed? Is there a hidden
switch allowing to start the keyer into silent state?
