[Yaesu] FT 920 AND Kam for cw

[Kjell W. Strom]

Tim,

I don't know about FT-920, but Pin 4 of the HF connector on KAM+
does not pull the keying line all the way to ground potential,
since it has a 100 Ohm resistor in series with the relay points.
You can test by connecting a resistor across the line from your
keyer to see if this keys the transceiver.

On the other hand, if your objective is to convert text files
into Morse code for recording: most CW training programs can do
this. Look for web sites offering freeware for hams.

Could anyone help with this one, I have an FT-920. I am
currently using an external keyer and have the internal keyer
off.
Everything works great. Now the problem, for some reason I
cannot get my Kam plus to key the rig in the cw mode.
It works on receive. I have the din plugged into the kam and the
other end plugged into the FT-920 but it does not key.
I checked all I know to check in the kam and the FT-920 but I am
missing something.
The software I am using is Pacterm 98. What I am trying to do
is, the wife would like to upload files in pacterm 98
and have it sent to the rigs key so she can tape them. She wants
some different cw to listen to going to sleep at night.
For this I thought it would be in my best interest to get this
to work. (Maybe I could tell her only the FT-9000 will do this
!!)
Thanks so much
