[Dx4win] CW Keying
Is there any reason that one cannot use a wye connector out of the back of the rig's key jack (in this case a 1000MP) and hook both a set of paddles and the LPT1 connection to the station PC? The LPT1 circuit is the one shown in the Help file of DX4WIN, using a 2N. Larry, that is OK if your paddles are connected to an external keyer. The LPT output should go to a manual key input, i.e. you can't attach that to a paddle input to an internal keyer. I've seen a lot of people use a Y connector from their rig's mono key input, one side to their computer and the other side to the output of an external keyer. GL - 73 John, WA9ALS

I do it. Just have to turn the internal keyer on to use the paddles and turn it off for the conputer to key it. 73 Stan, N3HS -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Larry Burke WI5A Sent: Saturday, November 09, 2002 6:31 PM To: Dx4win@mailman.qth.net Subject: [Dx4win] CW Keying Is there any reason that one cannot use a wye connector out of the back of the rig's key jack (in this case a 1000MP) and hook both a set of paddles and the LPT1 connection to the station PC?

If the 1000mp is anything like the FT920, you may have your cake and eat it too I use CW keying from DX4WIN and my paddle. I have connected the paddle on the front panel and my computer keying cable in the back of the rig. I have a switch on the back of the rig that disables the Keyer for the rear jack. The jack in the back of the rig is now set to straight key mode and the key jack on the front of the radio uses the built in keyer.. Might want to double check the 1000MP rear panel again. Let me know what you find. 73 Kurt - W2MW -Original Message- From: WA9ALS - John [SMTP:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Saturday, November 09, 2002 6:48 PM To: Larry Burke WI5A; Dx4win@mailman.qth.net Subject:Re: [Dx4win] CW Keying Is there any reason that one cannot use a wye connector out of the back of the rig's key jack (in this case a 1000MP) and hook both a set of paddles and the LPT1 connection to the station PC?
