Re: Has anyone been able to successfully send CW using cat control and a Digirig?
So I was able to send using the RTS line when connected through my PC using hamlib and N1MM however I can't get hamlib to work on my Raspberry Pi with?fldigi to key the same line.I'm able to directly key through the cat interface without using anything other than the digirig?but can't do it through FLDigi just N1MM it doesn't make sense.?

Re: Has anyone been able to successfully send CW using cat control and a Digirig?
To send CW via FlDigi you will need to setup the DTR-RTS Keying parameters for CW under the Modems in the configuration.? That will be the RTS or DTR line using RigCat serial port. Or you can select a separate serial port to do that if you are going to use HamLib or FLRig. You will have to build yourself an isolation interface to convert the RS-232 levels to the radio CW keying jack.? Diagrams are all over the Internet.? Normally an Opto-Isolator and/or a couple of small transistors.

I don't know how, but I have U5 Link box from AlliBaba and CW is ok with COM4 port, together radio control, using N1MM+... 73 DX I / SP9NY Vitor Luis Aidar dos Santos PY2NY, SP9NY, V26NY Caixa Postal 204 Jaboticabal, SP (Brasil) 14870-970

That would be the ideal configuration for me. I am able to connect to the radio with fl rig ig but have not had much success with hamlib or rigctl.

Has anyone done this before? Can anyone offer any advice

Re: No transmit audio from Koss headset when wired into RJ45 via front panel not sure what to do
I have 2 of the yeasu mh-48 mics if you would like to borrow one to test. They are brand new in box waiting to replace 1 of mine when they inevitably go bad at some point. Justin R Poole??

Yes with the RJ45 plug I have the center conductor on the headset mic plug is to pin 4 blue/white and bare wire to pin 5 solid blue.? PTT is wired into a foot switch, I have PTT control but power on SSB. Microphone is set to normal. Michael Easter Do not be too moral. You may cheat yourself out of much life. Aim above morality.

Re: No transmit audio from Koss headset when wired into RJ45 via front panel not sure what to do
¿ªÔÆÌåÓýDid you wire the Mic to pins 4&5 of the RJ45 Connector. How are you providing ptt to the radio?? Are you using VOX mode and if so did you try adjusting Menu 88 vox gain? Also do you have menu 59 (Mic Sel) set for normal?

No transmit audio from Koss headset when wired into RJ45 via front panel not sure what to do
The SB40 is a dynamic microphone so it doesn't need to be powered. I cut the plug off the microphone end and found a single insulated white wire and a bare copper wire.
?
I'm assuming these are signal and ground. I wired these up to a RJ45 cable for the FT857 using the mic signal and mic ground wires.?
?
When trying to transmit SSB I'm seeing no TX power and what I'm assuming is no input audio.?
?
One other odd thing is I don't see continuity between the wires and the plug on the end i snipped.
?
I'm at a loss any help is appreciated. RX audio is handled though the port on the side of the faceplate. |

Anyone successfully triggering a SDR switch using their FT-857?
I have purchased this switch:? Antenna Sharer, SDR Transceiver...
?
It is powered by 12v and uses a ground signal to close the relays and disconnect the SDR while the radio is transmitting to avoid overloading the SDR. I've tried a few configurations with no luck. I'm currently using a digirig for cat control and audio pass through.
?
I've tried using pin 2 and three of the cat cable but the radio doesn't send ground when transmitting.?
?
I've seen the mfj used to make a cable that went into the radio and broke out of connection to activate their switch. Does anyone know how that works or does anyone have any ideas as to how to get this working??
?
This is the MFJ cable?
?
I have used a splitter to split the 8-pin cable so I have a breakout. I just don't know what pins they would have used. I can solder the wire to the 3.5 mm connector for my switch. I just need some ideas as to how to proceed.?
?
?
Thanks in advance for all the help?

Hi Vitor,

I don't know N1MM+, but supposing you want to type on the keyboard of the computer and send CW (probably with another app), usually the best option is to use an interface that does include a Winkeyer chip, or even a Winkeyer device from K1EL, Steve. You could mess with VOX, sound generated CW or even have a rs232 signal to interface with the CW key input but it seems that the best is to have the computer send the chars to be sent in morse to a dedicated device outside the pc and be done with it. Sometimes the computer will not keep up with sending and miss for a brief period of time. I have a Microham USB III interface that can drive the CW key of the 857D, very handy and compact, a single USB cable for everything but it is not like having a dedicated cw device, it may work good enough for you but if you are serious about CW, get something with a winkeyer chip in it. Or something like that, I know there are alternatives to winkeyer chips, even though they are the gold standard in my opinion. Where are staying in Italy?
