Alinco DX-77T
LDG AT-11MP Automatic Antenna tuner
Antennas:
110 ft OCF doublet fed with ladder-line
Logger: N1MM+
Started late because I was trying to get my new Mortty V4 keyer working.
Tried to use a standard stereo cable to connect to the rig, but Mortty
treats the ring as PTT, and my DX-77T treats it as the dit part of the
internal keyer (which can't be turned off - "turning off" the keyer
actually just makes the tip key the transmitter, instead of putting out
dahs - which I guess means you could use a two-paddle key to simulate a
semi-automatic key), which results in random dits being added to the
keying. I've also got RF in the shack affecting the Mortty on some
bands (part of what I get from having a ladder-line fed OCF dipole), but
80 wasn't one of them, so I was able to get on for the last 13 minutes.
Was good being able to send faster than the 20wpm using the straight
key maxes out at, but I can tell this is going to take a bit of getting
used to.
