Sidetone from Morsekeyer6K when on LAN ?

Andrew O'Brien · December 2022

I am not getting a CW sidetone using Morsekeyer6K via LAN access to the 6400 . Is it not possible unless connected directly to the rig ?

Hi Andy, the short answer is no sidetone unless keying the rig from the key line or acc jack pin 4.

The reason is that any keying over LAN or WAN has enough latency as to make sending impossible (even on a very fast network).

The solution is to get the sidetone from the keyer, Morsekeyer 6K in this case.

If you can plug the keyer directly into the back of the radio, you will be able to use the radio's sidetone.

Thanks. I had a brain lapse and forgot that when I previously used it, I had the rig directly connected.
