How to operate CW keying only via CAT.

EA4AK

Hi all...It looks like there is no way to diretly do CW keying via CAT (6700 / PC with windows 8.1).

I have red the related conversations here... 
... but I would still like to ask the community to see if someone found a straighforward way to do it... directly or by means of any other piece of software.

I use N1MM+, HDR and DXLAB. 

Thanks in advance.

Santos,

I use N1MM+ and can key via this program on my 6500.  I connect via com4 and have the COM5-15 ports as follows: ptt dtr/rts

I hope this helps

Hi Santos, I tried that and found that using the ZLP cw keyer with HRD DM780 and the 6500 on cw is the best way to get clear cw tones and qsk. http://www.g4zlp.co.uk/ 73, Alex DH2ID

In my case I use the CWX function of the 6500, reports of nice clean cw. I then log using DM780/logger. At present DM780 has a minor problem with Add Log Entry which is being addressed for update, but a little manual input within the dm780 logger and its fine, not fast but ok.

If things really get hot and heavy then I use CW skimmer decoder as I cannot copy 30 wpm, but the con of that is the expense of cw skimmer.

Be advised that if you do try CWX, any hot-keys you set up (F1-F12) at this time the text will be sent twice. Flex advises that is being addressed for the next update.
 
My goal is N1mm+ but so far its set up eludes me, even with the tons of help available.

HI Chuck,
I believe the "sent twice" bug in CWX only applies if you are in "LIVE" mode.  It works fine for me when live mode is off.

Thanks Al,
I will tuck that in my hat band and try it out. So far 100% of my cw has been in live mode, but I certainly appreciate the note and will give it a go.

Thanks to all. CWX works great. Now I wonder how to set up N1MM.

Don:
Could you please send me a bit more detailed description of how you have your COM5/15 ports configured?
I assume this is a port pair created as a new PTT port, right?
Then, ... How is your precise configuration of port 5 in you N1MM+??
I have done the same, tried several configuration alternatives, but with no success.

Thanks.

Chuck

Your right Al, macros work ok in SEND. Between that and Live will get it done until update. Tnx.

Don,
I echo Santos' request.
Tnx Chuck
