I was setting up my father's Orion this weekend with CTWIN 10.02.008. How does one wire CT-generated CW (from the LPT port) into the Orion? Dad claims there is only one front-panel jack and it's for
Thanks, that's what we're looking for. Is it mono or stereo? We'll have to buy the correct plug. -- Jim Reisert AD1C, 7 Charlemont Court, North Chelmsford, MA 01863 USA +978-251-9933, <jjreisert@alum
Thanks again. Sounds like the Orion has the same problem the Yaesu has -- you can't use paddles connected to the radio and CT to key the radio at the same time. Who thinks up this nonsense? At least
I'm not sure I understand you comments about the FT100MP(mkv). I have the computer/CT plugged into the front panel jack and my keyer plugged into the rear jack for manual sending. What am I doing wro
Mal, unlike YEASU FT1000MP, most radios have front jack for paddle and rear jack for keyer (or vise versa). So if you use keying from your contest logger through interface you don't need a keyer and
Wouldn't it be easier to use the builtin CT keyer? By doing that you are always sure that the speed of you keyer and computer is the same. Also the CT keyer supports Iambic A and B - very useful for
Many times you want the paddles to be a slower speed so that you can repeat something for a fill. In the ideal case, you might have two sets of paddles, one at your contest speed and one at a slower
Yes, but.... The casual contester should not have to to re-wire the station or re-program the radio just to make a few contest QSOs. The ideal ("traditional") scenario: - external keyer with paddles
It would if the general logging programs would support it, but that's probably not going to happen. And Ed K1EP said, "the CT keyer is not that smooth" .... Although I somewhat agree - it is not my f
Jim, I now have an Orion and had an MP before that. You can do what you want with either. You've discovered the Orion solution in the manual, but I recall the MP would accept a simple Y phono plug i
Bill, That wasn't the point. You can use a Y with any radio and any two sources. The point here was that you can't use an external keyet (CT in this case) and the internal keyer at the same time on t
K1EP: case) and the internal keyer at the same time on the MP without manipulating menus. Ed, I haven't ever used an internal rig keyer...too awkward to adjust speed with that tiny MP knob and inflex
No, the original point from AD1C was that he could not use the internal keyer with CT. _______________________________________________ CT-User mailing list CT-User@contesting.com http://lists.contest
Well, not quite, you can insert the stereo plug all the way into the MP and just parallel the ring and sleeve (not the tip) with any external keying device, CT, keyer or what have you. In addition, a
I wish these other postings had been in my box to begin with, as I probably would not have given my two cents worth on the keying jack. In any event, I have to wholeheartedly agree with Bill's messag
