Now that he has seen what I have done, Joe W4TV tells me that this is an
incorrect configuration because it completely bypasses the things you get
from MH Keyer, like CAT and PTT. Of course he is right. What I have not
made clear to everyone is that my solution is specific to our Halifax
Amateur Radio Club Field Day 2009 CW tent. It's a repeat of the
configuration we had used, very successfully, with my K3 and Writelog the
year before. Only this year, same K3 #95 but new contesting software being
used by skilled N1MM/CW ops. We don't need anything out of MH Keyer or the
system other than its stable rig keying capability and feedback on band
changes from the radio. So, my solution is specific to that situation, no
more/no less and, as I have pointed out elsewhere, a one-off favour to the
Halifax Amateur Radio Club assembled from what I had available to me. Since
nothing has gone up in smoke, I'm kinda' proud of it:)
Plse all be QRV for VE1FQ. This is our new AR station and there
will two firsts this year: first time HARC has ever used its new station in
a contesting environment. This will be a deliberate exercise in due
diligence by proving out the station because of its strategic value to the
community. It will also be the first time we will have had, because our new
facilities have allowed for the antenna, the use of top band in a FD. FD is
a deadly serious business here. We will be in the F class because our
station has been designated by our local EM Organization that we were to act
as their official back-up communications site while theirs is down for
renovation. This has been blessed by ARRL.
Summary: Remember VE1FQ; and, caveat emptor.
73,
Gary, VE1RGB
