[WriteLog] DVK/Keyer for IC756ProII

[Jay Rodaman]

Hi George
I posed the original question and you have answered it. I owm the I-Mate
also and it works evry well with my PROII, but I was looking for a way
to use the keyboard and avoid all the hand shifting from radio to
keyboard to I-Mate.

Bob,

You are correct, BetterRF's I-MATE is an accessory for the IC-756 ProII
and 
IC-746Pro that connects to the transceiver's MIC jack and provides for
keying 
the internal voice and cw memories as an "external keypad".  It also
provides a 
pulsed tuning function for the manual tuning of linear amps.

The I-MATE does not interface with the computer and, therefore, does not

interface with WriteLog or any other logging program.  Having said that,
I use the 
I-MATE as my "voice keyer" while using WL as my logging program.  (I
just 
can't use the computer's function keys to trigger the voice messages.)
For me, 
it is an easy solution to having a voice keyer without having to bother
with a 
computer sound card, and I find that simplicity to be an advantage.

I am pretty familiar with the I-MATE, so please let me know if you have
any 
questions.
