Can anyone suggest a program for Windows (2000 Pro) that will key my HF
rig for CW? I have a Rigblaster already hooked up and functioning for
the digital modes, but would like to be able to key CW.

I don't really want or need the reception to be done by the computer,
just the actual keying.

I also have a control cable hooked up to the rig from an RS-232 port on
the PC.

Thanks in advance!

Howdy Dave,

I understand WriteLog does a fine job with cw keying/sending. The n1mm.com
logger also does a good job.

Likely more than you wanted, but give them a look.

What rig and other software are you using?

Cheers,

Hi Dave, Cwtype is a terminal program that may suit your needs. It has
schematics in its help file that you can easily build for either a
serial port, or a parallel port...cheap and easy. The program is
freeware.

Sorry - I should have stated more specifics!

I'm using an Icom IC-746 rig. The software I've been using includes
MMSSTV, Logger32, MT63, among others. I have the Rigblaster hooked up
and working fine with all of those programs, and the RS-232 port can and
does handle controlling the rig. I just need guidance to a CW program
that can utilize what I already have!

thanks es 73

I use MixW for everything. CW keyboarding and receiving. Plus all the
other digital modes.

Thanks for the suggestions! Some great programs were brought to my
attention. Unfortunately, without rewiring my PC and radio, it appears
that none of them will work.

I have the CT-17 cable from the RS-232 port to the IC-746, but that
won't key the rig in CW mode. I also have the Rigblaster, which will key
the rig using the PC audio card, but it will only key it in SSB mode,
hence I lose the effects of the good CW filtering.

Oh, well! Not the end of the world by any means. Just back to the
drawing board!

Thanks again!
