Re: [Dx4win] Side Tone Keyer
It's a reminder of how log D4W has been around. There are still a few artifacts of an earlier age in the way D4W works. It reminds me of the first time I saw a PC with sound. I was very impressed... it was an Apple! Must have been in the early nineties which is probably when Paul wrote the CW routine ;-) wo2n wrote: I'm waiting 9 years for the CW Announce via outside speakers. 73 de Bernie/WO2N. - Original Message - From: Mel ve...@videotron.ca To: Jim Reisert AD1C jjreis...@alum.mit.edu Cc: DX4WIN Reflector dx4win@mailman.qth.net Sent: Friday, December 11, 2009 2:21 PM Subject: Re: [Dx4win] Side Tone Keyer DX4Win generates the CW using the PC Speaker in the computer enclosure.
