AW: [digitalradio] New digital interfaces for Christmas
If the signalink is a new one maybe the changes are already made . see at the bottom of the page . But maybe somebody got a used one that he found on e-buy .. So just a quick check with spectran or any other spectral software and you will see if you have to change the transformers and the caps .. Have a nice happy new year Greetz Dg9bfc Sigi _ Von: digitalradio@yahoogroups.com [mailto:digitalra...@yahoogroups.com] Im Auftrag von Rick Westerfield Gesendet: Mittwoch, 30.

Re: [digitalradio] AFCW and keyed cw programs
Hello, Keying directly gives possibility to put a true keyer in parallel to the computerized keying, this to be able to either type letters or key the letters according to the feeling of the day. However, in hard keying , if the speed is not too much fast (=25 wpm), computerized dashes ans dots are OK but the precision of the duration being limited under Windows, very fast keying will be not very good (as far as i know). 73 Patrick Selon DANNY DOUGLAS n...@comcast.net: NO- AFCW is NOT better, and if you use it, half your contacts with tell you they hear some audio getting into your keying. I used it a few times, early on, and that is the results. Remember, you also will be using SSB, versus continus wave keying signals, and thus outputting less RF signal. Stay away from it, if at all possible. I hadnt gotten that far with FLDIGI, but if it uses only AFCW, Im gone.

Re: [digitalradio] AFCW and keyed cw programs
I guess they exist, but I do not not of a keyer that outputs audio (afsk) keying to a rig. Generally your hand key is just shorting two wires, to the key input jack which is real cw. I run a computer with software to provide on/off keying, and parallel that with a regular hand key and/or a bug, thus am able to use either type keying at any time. My TS570s has two key input jacks, one for external keying such as from the key/a keyboard/computer etc, and the other to an Iambic key, and the rig provides the cw from that.

Re: [digitalradio] AFCW and keyed cw programs
Am I wrong in thinking that if one uses something like MixW to direct key a rig that has no internal keyer, that you also get some odd results ? In the early days of Mixw I used direct keying with my TS440, not audio CW. It worked but I would get comments from some that suggested my CW had an odd 'swishing sound to it. I do not get that direct keying the TS-2000. Andy K3UK

Windoze can do it... we use N1MM in the contest with 45 wpm direct keying, without problems on fast machines. Of course cwdaemon for linux is even better...

I do not get that direct keying the TS-2000. Andy K3UK I used MixW this year for the first time at the Red Cross club station (W8PGW) for the November Sweepstakes CW weekend. Did not receive anything from anyone telling me anything like that. The stations that I know that we contacted during the contest told me later that we had a very good clean signal. Was using a Icom ic-730 and a Kenwood ts-430. Switched to the 730 because of the better filtering that was in it. I had asked this question because I want something that will decode and send CW and I just don't feel comfortable and don't like the sound of the AFCW that FLDigi and gMFSK do. I feel a WHOLE lot better direct keying and I am not a regular CW user. As for cwdaemon, I will have to look at the man pages and see what I can do to get it to run here.
