N4PY> With firmware version 1.367, you can send CW with the Orion by simply
sending characters to the Orion via the comport. My Orion control software
uses this function to run a CW keyboard.
Software CW and PTT seems to be trendy! N1MM Logger uses K1EL keyer,
Writelog has W5XD keyer.
It helps the sale of unique 8 COM port PC cards! GHZ CPU with 10M
transistors can't provide reliable msec timing.
I preffer KISS approach with 3 TTL lines (FSK) which should be polled to the
ground with an external transistor.
