Re: Serial port selection list needs USB to Serial added
¿ªÔÆÌåÓýAvailable from AmazonHas excellent reviews, including Linux users. For CW/FSK interface, flrig and/or fldigi can directly interface to this device without needing a WinKeyer. CW KeyerOpen the keyer dialog with the main dialog menu item "Keyer/CW keyer"
Tip for the function / macro buttons: Control-left-click opens: A CQ macro with start/stop (ptt enable/disable): [CQ CQ DE W1HKJ K] Prosign characters can be configured by the user. The macros and prosign assignments are save in the transceiver prefs file. Config opens: The DTR/RTS port can be either
Select either DTR or RTS for the keyline as required by h/w. Calibrate button sends standard "PARIS " word, WPM times. Program measures actual time to transmit and sets compensation value. WPM Comp msec can be adjusted by user. Xcvr comp msec is used to increase or decrease each key down
interval by the specified time interval.
7300 CW DTR/RTS keying @ 24 WPM
The effect of a -2 msec Xcvr comp adjustment is clearly seen and
easily heard. PTT delay is in milliseconds. Enter a non-zero value to enable a delay between the PTT-on and the first CW keyline closure. The same delay will be applied to the last CW keyline closure and PTT-off. The CW keyer is specifically designed to work with a DTR/RTS keyline to emulate the closure of a CW key. Several transceivers have this capability built in to the hardware. Some expose a separate keying port (FT-991A) and some share the CAT serial port (IC-7300). A simple DTR/RTS keying circuit can also provide the h/w interface. This one provides galvanic isolation: Inexpensive USB serial-to-CW-keyline devices are available from
internet vendors. (see above) On 11/28/23 04:44, "J", VY1JA wrote:
This is the second time I have been bitten by this problem. K1EL WinKeyer has been switched from FTDI to CH340.?? That CH340 does not work well with other USB adapters.? Now I am looking for an older used Winkey 3 to replace the new one which is giving my remote station users trouble, and have been in contact with Carl, N4PY who has also said good words about FTDI.? I just bought two more cables which sellers SAID they had FTDI chips but Linux reports them as CH340. and refuses to accept them at all.? They are what this is all about! |
