I know I need to buy a more modern radio but I am hoping some one else has
set up the TS940S with a DX Doubler box and WL
The TS940S has a Piexx board out put that goes to the computer. Plus the LPT
goes to the DXD. Cables are from Top Ten Devices. I have the paddle hooked
into the DXD box.
I cannot get the TS940S to be keying in cw or will the vox work in phone. If
I hook up my outside keyer to the 940S it works perfect same with a mic to
it also. But going thru the DXD Nadda.
Help. PTL bill K0UK

But the TS940S will not be keyed
