[WriteLog] Kenwood TS-870S and Writelog

[Roger Marrotte @ Mediaone]

Does anyone have a cable made up that combines the three functions of rig
control, CW sending and PTT for a Kenwood TS-870S?  If so can I get a
description/diagram of the cable/circuit. I have a cable now for rig control
and a separate cable for sending CW. Each is on a separate COM port and
works fine.  I understand that all three functions can be incorporated into
one cable tied to one COM port.  It sounds good to me.  I was reading in the
TS-870 manual, page 83, about the use of the RTS and CTS lines for rig
control by the TS-870.  I was also reading in the Writelog manual about the
use of the DTR and RTS lines for sending CW, making up a Y cable, using
jumpers, etc.  I'm confused.  Any help would sure be appreciated.

Thanks, Roger, W1EM
