Yep Joe this is correct you can put a small relay on the output of pin 14 Or preferred with optocoupler switching a relay when second radio is selected 73 Guy ON4AOI BAND DECODER and related stuff at http://www.on4aoi.be/banddecoder.htm DX4WIN soft and related stuff at http://www.on4aoi.be/dx4win.htm DX4WIN, WRITELOG, WF1B & RITTY CW & RTTY interfaces at http://www.on4aoi.be/keyer.htm ARSWIN link and related stuff at http://www.on4aoi.be/web7.htm DXTELNET soft and related stuff at http://www.on4aoi.be/dxt.htm -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Joe Giacobello Sent: Sunday, April 03, 2005 5:14 PM To: DX4WIN Subject: [Dx4win] LPT CW Interface Question I have been successfully keying my rigs via the DX4WIN and the LPT ports for years. Currently, I am using one LPT port for two rigs. Each rig has its own interface and keying line and I switch between the two rigs (interfaces) with a manual switch. The help file says that CW keying is via pin 1 of the LPT port. It also says that when an LPT port is selected in the Radio 1/2 signal, the pin 14 line is active when the second radio is selected. Does that mean I can use pin 14 to key the second interface (rig) and eliminate the manual switch? I think so, but I want to be sure. Thanks and 73, Joe _______________________________________________ Dx4win mailing list Dx4win@mailman.qth.net http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/dx4win
