Brian, I'm not sure what you mean by "send CW and work as the CAT data". The port is not sending CW, the CW is generated by the internal keyer in the radio. The KW command has a 24 byte ascii command string that represents what you want to send: KY now is the time for all good....; comes in the port assigned to CAT and is routed to the CWX CW module for translation to the dits and dahs to send.
I have been unable to find a way to do this in N1MM (and I'm the last person to claim expertise with it) please let me know so I can test it. Thanks, Bob K5KDN -----Original Message----- From: Brian Kassel [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, November 06, 2007 10:19 AM To: Bob Tracy Cc: Rob Dennison; flexradio@flex-radio.biz Subject: Re: [Flexradio] SDR-1000 and Winkey with N1MM Logger Bob and Rob: Is the Kenwood KY command the command that allows a single com port to send CW *AND* work as the CAT data? If so, N1MM Logger does indeed support that mode. I have used it on my K-2 for many moons. So, if I set up N1MM Logger to use a single serial port, what would have to be done in the setup in Power SDR for this to work as described?
