See the Kenwood KY command in the CAT Dictionary. This is precisely what it does, however, I don't believe N1MM implements KY.

If so, why not make a minor mode to CWX so it can receive a string of ACII from an external program say via vCOM as well as via a keyboard? Simplicity is the soul of elegance. Why should I be required to spend yet another $70 for a WinKey kit and build it up in my shop to fix what is basically a specification bug in PowerSDR? 73's Rob AB7CF On Tue, 06 Nov 2007 08:00:13 -0700 Brian Kassel <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> writes: > Hi Army: > > QSL, Thanks for your input.
