Greetings all and Happy Holidays;
I've been spending some quality time with my IC 706MKIIG since it is
the
only spare radio I have to use at my new station. I've investigated the
computer controlled interface I need to control the rig and found some
great resources on the internet thanks to many members of this group. I am
now interested in searching out CW keying. Now here is what I want to do
and I am wondering if it can be done. On my primary radio (Yaesu FT-920) I
can operate CW from my computer using DX4WIN as well as operate with my
paddle. Is there a way to do the same with the IC-706? I would think the
cable I use from the LPT port to key the rig would work but I would like to
use my paddle at the same time. Do I need to use an external keyer with my
paddle and use a Y-cable from it to the rig? I would like to see if there
are other possibilities before I go this route. Please advise.
