[ct-user] Radio Interface with a laptop

[Dick Dievendorff]

I'd consider a microHAM microKeyer (discontinued but available used) or a
microKeyer 2 http://www.microham-usa.com/Products/MKII.html,
or if you will never want to use the digital modes maybe a WinKey USB
http://www.k1el.com/ and a USB-to-Serial adapter for rig control.

The WinKey USB is available as a kit.

There may be other answers.

Subject: [ct-user] Radio Interface with a laptop

Can anyone tell me how to key both CW and also interface a radio with a 
laptop that has only USB ports?
Is something commercially available for interface or do I have to build 
something?  Is there a place where
schematics or diagrams are available?

I have a laptop and would like to use a CW keying program on it.  I'm 
not particularly concerned with paddle
support.  I may try the character version of CT too, as the laptop's OS 
is Vista Home Premium, so there is
no DOS support.

Thanks

Al
