Mark,
As it so
happens, I just made the change to hardware serial port keying today. Your
DB9 pinout is correct [4=Comm, 6=Dit, 8=Dash]. Be sure however that you
select COM1 as the "Paddle Src", which is found on the Keyer tab of the DSP tab
under Setup. Prior to my change today, I was using the parallel port for
keying. While certainly workable, I find the latency to be less of an
issue (either real or imagined) when keying via the serial port. It works
like a champ ... at least for me at the ~20wpm level. Much beyond 20wpm
and I have my own latency problems. Hi.
