[WT-support] Keying RTTY by LPT port

[Dave Zeph]

Alessio .. CW Keying can be accomplished from a COM Port.

[edit] COM-port CW keying

If you have a simple transistor-based COM port CW interface (see below), you
can enable this by again

choosing the corresponding COM port, and selecting Other interface... from
the drop-down list.

Clicking on the Configure button will reveal drop-down lists for DTR and RTS
(pin 4 and pin 7

respectively on a DB9 connector and pins 20 and 4 on an DB25).

 

 



My guess is that you have a Laptop complicating the addition of a LPT Port.
There are PCMCIA Cards that implement a true LPT Port such as this:

http://www.quatech.com/catalog/parallel_pcmcia.php     (and there are
others.)

These aren't inexpensive, but it might be the best long-term solution.

Subject: [WT-support] Keying RTTY by LPT port

 

Hi all,

I'm trying to key my FT1000MP through the RTTY rear connector and a PTT/CW
LPT interface.

To allow MTTY to key through LPT, I downloaded EXTFSK as suggested.

Actually, I must say I followed the suggestions given by DK2PH on this
reflector in February: 

http://www.f5mzn.org/pipermail/support/2007-February/073149.html

but I have no LPT port listed in the EXTFSK port list, just COM ports. 

The DLPORT I/O package is installed, and I can use the LPT port through
Win-Test just fine, and Win-Test is not configured to use the LPT port.

Any help appreciated!

73,
Alessio IZ4EFN
