The functionality of Phase 1 will still be in place when Phase 2 is going. I
will be listening to see if the computer knows what it's doing. When it
misses hearing somebody, I'll be hitting the Esc key twice. If I have to do
that too many times, Phase 2 is going into the trash can for me until
somebody tells me how to improve the "ears" on my computer. Frankly, I have
serious doubts whether the computer can hear a weak signal, but I'm
interesting in finding out first hand.

Aside from all the great answers as to how to interface the computer, is
this really practical? Does anyone really leave it up to a computer to pick
the best beverage for weak signals in the noise? I've only had two beverages
but would prefer manual selection and MY ears to decide the best receiving
antenna.

Phase 1: Computer pgm switches to next beverage every X seconds. Esc stops

it switching. Double click Esc stops it & switches back to prev beverage.

Phase 2: Computer listens for a signal & stops if it hears one. I know, in

practice this one mite not work as well as I hope. Like how does one detect

the diff between a real CW signal & noise?
