[TenTec] Re: Orion PTT question (seriously)

[Marijan Miletic, S56A]

N4PY> With firmware version 1.367, you can send CW with the Orion by simply
sending characters to the Orion via the comport.  My Orion control software
uses this function to run a CW keyboard.

Software CW and PTT seems to be trendy!  N1MM Logger uses K1EL keyer,
Writelog has W5XD keyer.
It helps the sale of unique 8 COM port PC cards!  GHZ CPU with 10M
transistors can't provide reliable msec timing.
I preffer KISS approach with 3 TTL lines (FSK) which should be polled to the
ground with an external transistor.
