IC761 and Contest keying

Mon Feb 14 11:02:31 EST 1994

Apparantly my note didn't get to you.  I solved this by installing a
new 1/4 inch phone jack on the rear panel for the computer keying line.
I installed a small bead inside, and wired the line to the output line
of the internal IC-761 keying circuit.  The result is just as the IC-765
has done.  I had access to service manuals for both the 761 and 765 to
do this.

You may not want to drill a hole in the back panel. I didn't mind.

I will try this, using the "spare" jack on the '761.  That will give
me the best of both worlds.

A few weeks ago, somebody was talking about a keyboard mapping program.
I was thinking to myself, what does he need that for?  Now I see... I'm
sitting here with a laptop computer to take to Mexico this weekend, and
to squeeze a '+' keypress out of this thing I have to hit 'Shift ='.
Will this keyboard mapping program convert say the '[' character to
a '+'?  If so, where can I get a copy?  Please reply privately.

Many thanks to all the experienced contesters who responded to my
inquiry on computer keying.  Virtually all agreed  on the following, or
did the following (had about 2 dozen responses):

1.  the 2n2222 xsistor + 1kohm resistor is THE circuit

2.  it is easy to mount in a DB25 connector and plug directly
into the computer port

3.  everyone used the parallel printer port (kind of obvious,
since you need the serial ports for tnc, radio control)

4.  shielded cable was used from the DB25 to the radio

5.  only 1 respondent experienced RFI from using computer
keying (no one said they used any ferrite beads for emi control)

6.  it is a whole new experience in cw contesting having the
computer do all the keying

7.  I am a dummy for not doing it sooner...

CU in the ARRL with computer keying!!!

Servus Eric,

die Internet-Adresse im Kopf Deiner email wurde als "unknown"
zu mir zurueckgeliefert, daher Antwort ueber list-server.

-----
Servus Eric,

Danke fuer Deine email - habe seit kurzem in meiner Firma
ueber mailtool Anschluss an Internet. Gestern bekam ich von
einem Freund die Information, dass von einem server Nach-
richten an "Abonenten" versendet. Habe leider fuer Rueckfrage
meiner Einstellungen die falsche Adresse erwischt.

Ich bin bei SIEMENS in der Entwicklung fuer Kraftwerks-
einsatzplanung (power plant scheduling/generation control
scheduling) taetig. Zur Zeit arbeite ich an der Optimierung
von Wasserkraftwerken mit.

Wenn Zeit bleibt bin ich an meinem HF-transceiver. Ich
arbeite so nebenbei an meinem CQ-County-Award und am WAS,
aber da QSL-Karten benoetigt werden, dauert das sicher noch
einige Jahre bis ich damit fertig werde. - An Conteste nehme
ich nur zum Spass teil - habe weder die noetige Ausruestung
noch Ergeiz fuer "top-scoring".

So das war's - Danke nochmals fuer die email.

73 & Servus de Gerald/OE1GOU

P.S.: Dein Deutsch ist wirklich sehr gut!!!

What's all this I hear about bad condx?  Sounded just
hunky-dory here in NM ;)

Numbers aren't final because I log the Sprint on paper and
'kinda' keep a dupe sheet.  I wouldn't be surprised to see
the QSO total drop by 4 or 5 when my computer gets ahold 
of the logs.

    20  132
    40  139
    80   79
       _____
        350 total

Mults: 52.  Heard but not worked: KL7, XE, TI, VP2M.

Made 11 band changes (but 1 resulted in no Qs).
Pretty good start: QSO #50 was at 0024Z.

20m started to fizzle much earlier that usual, but there
were a lot of weak-but-workable stations hangin' around
until well after 02Z.

Station:
TS850, DTR2000.  KT34XA @ 60' (NE), KT34A @ 50'(NW),
CC 2el 40 @ 70', 80m vee @ 60'.

Hope to be on from XE2NQ for ARRL DX CW, but it's looking
a little grim.  C U from somewhere . . .
