I used my Omni V.9 extensively with Writelog using a standard 
serial cable. Only pins 2, 3, and common on a DB9 are needed 
for computer control. I used pin 4 and common to send CW. 
Worked VERY well. You do NOT need a separate serial cable for 
CW. You DO need the same simple NPN inverter that you need for 
any other rig. 

I would expect that it would also work well with N1MM and HRD. 
You have to tell the software that it's a different transceiver 
(Kenwood or ICOM, don't recall which). N4PY can tell you -- as 
I recall, the full control compatibility was provided by his 
chip mod (that made it a V.9).
