DXLab's WW & KY CW COM
|
Rob Dennison
Gentlemen,
Just heard that DXLab's WinWarbler has implemented Kenwood's KY command for sending CW via the CAT interface. Since PowerSDR also implemented the KY command, it should be a snap to send CW via SDRxKs from WW. Because KY using an alpha string there should be no timing problems at all. Or more precisely any timing problems could be corrected inside PowerSDR. A WW user would have to tell us how to select KY for CW transfer to PowerSDR. Hope this helps, 73's Rob AB7CF |

This is accomplished via a collaboration between Commander and WinWarbler.

If the "Radio Model" specified in Commander is one capable of generating CW from text via CAT commands, then Commander alerts WinWarbler, which enables the "Xcvr Ctrl SW" option in the Keying panel on the CW tab of WInWarbler's Config window. With "Xcvr Ctrl SW" selected for CW keying, WinWarbler generates CW by conveying the text to Commander, which in turn uses the appropriate CAT commands to direct the transceiver to send the text in CW. At present, this arrangement works with the Kenwood TS-480 and TS-2000, the Elecraft K2 (and hopefully the K3), and the FlexRadio SDR-1000 when running PowerSDR. All of these transceivers support variants of the Kenwood CAT instruction set, including the KY command used to generate CW. 73, Dave, AA6YQ -----Original Message-----

I have a TS870 and according to my manual it allows the KY command but the

option is gray on my system. I do not see any of those models in the radio panel. It has only KENWOOD as a choice. Gil, W0MN N 44.082147 W 92.513085 1050' Hierro Candente, Batir de repente -----Original Message----- |

The TS-870S manual downloadable from
is a scanned copy; the description of the KY command is completely unreadable. Someone mailed me a physical copy of this manual's CAT description, but as luck would have it the description of KY wasn't fully copied, ending with the tantalizing words "The internal buffer allows approximately 5 times 28 characters (~140 characters) to be continuously keyed. For programs that convert to Morse code immediately after entry, more continuous keying is possible...". The description of the command's P2 parameter, which enables reliable CW buffer management, is missing. Thus the current release of Commander does not signal WinWarbler that it can accept CW when its Radio Model selector is set to Kenwood and the transceiver has identified itself to Commander as a TS-870S. If you can send me the complete description of the TS-870S implementation of the KY command, I'll be able to determine what's feasible. 73, Dave, AA6YQ --- In dxlab@..., "rojomn" <rojomn@...> wrote: but the option is gray on my system.KENWOOD as a choice. |
