I want PTT to hold during F-key messages, but quickly return to receive
without any "hang time" so I can hear the prompt response. Here's what
I found works. I'm using Writelog to a Microham micro2r to a Kenwood TS-590s.
First I get Full Break-in keying working across all three.
The radio is set to Full Break-in.
The microham router, on the PTT&ACC tab, uncheck both:
Use Winkey PTT and
Generate PTT output.
In Writelog, Setup Ports...,
Port Setup tab: Comm PPT is NO for all radios.
CW PTT tab, PTT Control is None(e.g. QSK).
Now Full Break-in keying works during F-key messages.
If you don't have Full Break-in, you still have "hang delay" somewhere.
Now I can change the settings on one at a time to see the effect, and see
if its what I want. What works for me is:
Leave radio on Full Break-in.
In microham router, check Generate PTT output.
The minimum delay settings: PTT tail "1.00 wordspace, 0 ms", will only apply
if I ALSO check "Use Winkey PTT."
In Writelog, PTT Control to "On LPT pin 16/COMM RTS".
Now I have PTT held during F-key messages, and it drops quickly at end when
Writelog releases PTT. I can switch back to Full Break-in either in Writelog
(PTT Control is None), or in microham router (un-check Generate PTT output).
Paddle will be Full-break-in unless I ALSO check "Use Winkey PTT."
If I need longer delays on paddle or at end of messages, I can also check
Use Winkey PTT and increase the PTT tail to "1.00 wordspace, 300 ms". I rarely
use the paddle, so I usually do not check "Use Winkey PTT."
