[WriteLog] CW Keying Interface

[WA9ALS - John]

That's what I use.  Some recommend a 3-4K resistor instead of the 1K - won't
hurt, might help.  2N2222 is fine.   I key CW with DTR on the COM port, thru
resistor to base of 2n2222.  Ground the emitter.  Emitter and collector to
key rig.  I think you have it.  My first interface consisted of these 2
components hanging out the back of a DB-9 shell, but I cleaned it up later!

work?  Use a 2N2222.  From Serial Port Pin 4 to a 1K resistor to the base of
the 2N2222.  The emitter is hooked to Pin 5 and the collector and emitter
are used to key the rig.
