Rob, Your CAT Dictionary is a few revisions behind, the latest is October 31, 2007. The KY and KS commands were added on August 25, 2007. In the downloads section of the Flex web site, the CAT Dictionary and Cross-Reference are one revision behind the current ones, but is's only been about a week since the lastest revs were posted.
The Kenwood KY/KS and Flex ZZKY/ZZKS are implemented in PowerSDR. I'm not sure about the KW command, it doesn't appear in my Kenwood docs. The solution does work with DXLabs Commander and WinWarbler as they were the programs (requested by a user) that spurred the addition of the Kenwood commands. If you want the latest docs, and you have TortoiseSVN loaded, you can download the documents directly from: svn://206.216.146.154/svn/repos_sdr_windows/PowerSDR/trunk/Documentation 73, Bob K5KDN -----Original Message----- From: Rob Dennison [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, November 06, 2007 11:29 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; flexradio@flex-radio.biz Subject: Re: [Flexradio] SDR-1000 and Winkey with N1MM Logger Hi all, For what it's worth, neither the KW or KY commands are listed in the latest flexRadio Cat Command Dictionary I've been able to find in the knowledge base (Revised January 3, 2006.) Of course my suggestion is that flexRadio implement a simple ascii port or the KW/KY commands or a ZZ equivalent and similarly N1MM implement them as well. No use pushing on N1MM until flexRadio is in motion. Of course this simple solution would work with DXLabs and other CAT programs... Sure would beat the competition (except Kenwood.) 73's Rob AB7CF On Tue, 6 Nov 2007 10:29:59 -0600 "Bob Tracy" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> writes: > 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?
