Hi all,
I am looking to try SO2R on my beer budget. Here is my setup:
Kenwood TS-850SAT with computer interface Kenwood TS-830S
Homebrew LPT CW keyer (LPT2) K1NU CW interface =
CW (com4)
Rigblaster =
shares same rigblaster
I spent the evening last night trying to set up wav files for the =
rigblaster DVK and it works fine. I have a homebrew switch box to =
switch the mic to either rig. I noticed that I can only use VOX to key =
the 830, and it cuts off part of the first character (sometimes). It =
keys the rig fine on the 850. I have messed with the writelog sound =
card mixer control, and I have it working a little better.
Some questions:
1.. Will I have to use VOX for the 830 since it is not technically =
computer interfaced? Can I use the CW cable for PTT on SSB?
2.. Is there a way to make sure I don't cut off part of the first =
character with the 830? I have experimented with PTT delay, but I think =
thats for CW. Will I need to put a space at the beginning of the call =
to compensate for that? If so, won't my characters sound choppy?
3.. Can I use both CW cables with this setup? I don't see how I can =
do this without going into ports? The bad thing about using one CW =
cable is that one is for positive keying, and the other is setup for =
grid block keying.
I'm kind of attached to my 830, and would really like to use it. I =
think this setup will work fine in SO2R RTTY, but would like to try and =
make it work with SSB/CW.
TIA and 73,
Terry, WK0F
