And as has been pointed out by one of the G's here, a PICAXE-18X can be VERY easily programmed to use a PS2 keyboard to send FSK, PSK and CW, using the KY command, when connected to the serial port.
I've still got the K40 that I used with my IC756PRO once upon a time in a similar role. I can give further details if anyone is interested. 73, doug Date: Mon, 23 Mar 2009 12:42:47 -0700 From: Iain MacDonnell - N6ML <a...@dseven.org> Richard W.

If you're talking about plugging a keyboard directly into the K3, I don't think there's any plan to implement that. "Real" FSK is already available via the accessory port, but the keyboard-to-FSK has to be done externally (commonly by software like MMTTY). K1EL's K40 interface kit apparently allows use of a PS/2 keyboard to generate FSK without a computer, but his website still says it's out of stock. ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
