[TRLog] Booting to MS-DOS with Windows ME

[SM5AJV]

Hi!
Maybe this thread belongs to some other forum, but here is one
thought.

Wouldn't it be possible to produce perfect CW using the
soundcard under windows? In order to key the Tx the sound
card have to have some keying interface in order to do proper keying.
I am not sure if the sound card is good at sending DC directly to
a keying transistor. But if not, it would possible to use i.e. a 10kHz 
keyed tone into a diode detector before the transistor.

Hams on VHF is doing this when working meteor scatter, but they
feed the audio directly into their SSB-transceiver.
