Subject: [WriteLog] Laptop Keying and Stuttering again
> Thanks for all the replies about the laptop serial port
stuttering when it was sending CW on FD.

> Just a couple of points for all of you to ponder....

> Windows 2000 Pro is the OS
> Dell 700 Mhz Laptop (not exactly the fastest, but works)
> Serial Port Interface: homebrew with 2n2222 and RG174 for thge
keying line
> Power output: about 80 watts with the radio grounded very well
>
> In fact, I thought it might be RF too...so I coiled a lot of
the cable up into a tight loop and it still did the CW
stuttering. I reduced power to 5 watts...still did the
stuttering.

> I just wonder if users have seen this before and if there is a
cure.
