I use a simple one transistor keying circuit connected to a COM port. This is in parallel (Y cable) with my MFJ keyer. The connection is to the straight key input of the radio. A number of contest pr
I don't know why your count is off, but leave the dupes in the file. The other station may have only one QSO logged and if you delete it they won't get credit for the contact. The ARRL checks your lo
Ed, There are several simple one transistor keying circuits on the WEB. I added a RS reed relay for additional isolation and for use with a tube radio. The circuit is in regular use in BK-IN mode wit
Today, in the NY Times "Circuits" section a reader objected to the term "technophobe" The reader opined that he owned Hi-tech devices, but simply could understand or operate them and therefore should
Amazingly, I have no RF problems with my 3Com cable modem or the network (including wireless) However I do get into the computer on 80 and 40M (frequency selective) and it causes dots and dashes to s
What kind of RTTY MODS are there for the PK-232 and where might I find them? KAM, select AFSK I don't know about the KAM, but the PK-232 provides a discrete output for FSK. When used with a TT OMNI-
I was a casual reader of "Communications Quarterly" A local Tower Records, of all places, carried it and when I was in the area I would pick up a copy. On my last trip I could not find the magazine.
I use Logic5 as my daily logger. After a contest I import the W/L files into Logic for award tracking and QSL'ing. Logic is FoxPro based, so you can program anything you want to. PS: Logic 6 is out.
Ken, At one time I used a Belkin USB port with writelog for rig control. The details are now hazy, but I did not have any problem with the setup (desktop computer). A COM port was assigned when the U
