Good afternoon, all:
I've just been asked about the impact of replacing an
SO2R master and internal DVP with an Array Solutions
ZS4TX Super Combo keyer Version II.
It appears to me that, from reading the ZS4TX manual
and the TRLog manual, that there is no impact on
CW operation, using TRLog as the keyer and to generate
CW. The ZS4TX box appears to be essentially a DVK.
It appears, though, that some SO2R functions are lost
in SSB with any DVK, particularly the ability to
automatically launch a CQ message on the run radio
after calling a station on the second radio and
after sending the exchange to a station on the
second radio...the CQ ALT F3 memory. The issue
appears to be that TRLog has no way of knowing
when the transmission on the second radio has
completed.
In fact, I can't figure out how the receive audio
can get switched correctly between the radios using
two radio mode (ALT-D on the second radio followed by
space).
Before I arrange to drive 70 miles or so to test this
theory, Is anyone out there using SSB SO2R with a DVK?
This would appear to be fixable by adding a parameter
defining the length (in tenths of seconds maybe?)
of each DVK message to the TR program, and using
that interval to control the switching.
Have I misunderstood something here (probably :-))?
I'll worry about other logging programs after I get
TRLog figured out. :-)
Thanks in advance for any help and 73.
Mark, KD4D
