[TenTec] Micro Keyer and Keying an Orion

[Bill Gaines AD8P]

I bought a Micro Keyer last week to interface with my Orion. Well let me be the first to say I am a total geek when it comes to computers and if it isn't specifically spelled out for me in the instructions then I am going to have issues. Well I have issues. I am certain that some of my esteemed colleagues in radioville use the Micro Keyer and the Orion. Please let me know how to contact you so I can copy your settings in the rig and in the router so I can get it up and running.

In setting up the router I can get it to sent "test" when I hit the test button on the WinKey comport. I can also get it to key the rig from the CW key port and the software also follows the rig on the control port. It also sends tones from the FSK test button in router. However, I can't seem to get any setting to work with N1MM logger. It will track in N1MM but it won't key the rig.

I was able to get MMTTY to run but I could be transmitting "upside-down" as no-one would respond to me last night and I am sure it isn't signal strength. I was able to make it generate tones however and key the rig but as a standalone program....not in N1MM Logger.

Come on guys.....any help is appreciated. This list has always come through for me. I searched the archives and found nothing there by using Micro Keyer Orion as my search criteria.
