I agree Arnie, if I'm setting up stuff to operate in my own shack. However, if I wanted to be able to use my rig with various other people's keys an easy-to-configure interface box would be very attractive.
I would opt for a box with the connectors Dick mentions, but with a few mini toggle switches to make the connections to the various outputs to the rigs as needed. Guess that's the difference in outlook between "hardware" types like me and "software" types, Hi! Ron AC7AC -----Oorspronkelijk bericht----- Hi Dick, You can 'PIC' just about anything. But in this case I will change the connection of a few wires if necessary using a soldering iron. Simple solution for a simple problem. 73 Arie PA3A ------------- <<I still walk around with my idea of building a little box with 6 to 8 stereo jacks on the front and one or two outputs to key-in to tranceiver(s). The idea is that everybody wires a key or paddle differently. (straight key to tip, sleeve or both; single paddle to tip, sleave or both; double paddle left to tip right to sleeve or just other way around)? Let me know your thoughts Thanks, Dick PA3CW >> ______________________________________________________________ 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
