I believe RUMlogNG uses native commands for CW keying and RTTY. It sends CW & RTTY through a single USB/RS-232 interface. 73 Bill AE6JV On 6/5/16 at 7:05 PM, neilmartinsenburr...@gmail.com (Neil Martinsen-Burrell) wrote: Thanks to everyone for the suggestions. It appears that regardless of

What I did with my K2 was to appropriate the wire used for ALC in the K2-to-computer cable and connect it to the DTR pin of the computer's RS232 port. Then I added two Schottky diodes inside the K2 from this DTR line to the dit and dah inputs for the internal keyer. Finally, I set the menu param

Thanks to everyone for the suggestions. It appears that regardless of the logging program, I will need some additional connection between the radio and the computer for CW keying. Not even N1MM+ on Windows supports keying the K2 over the serial port using the native KY; command. At this point, I w

I cannot directly answer your questions about logging programs with Ubuntu, but I can say that Oracle Virtual Box running XP has worked well for me - a LOT better than attempting to run some programs with Wine. I must also say that I did go back to Ubuntu 12.4 after a later upgrade lobotomized m

Neil, I'm far from a hard core contester but enjoy DXCC, Field Day, etc. For me the best solution has been xlog along with hamlib & cwdaemon. I made a small NPN transistor-based circuit in an Altoids tin to do serial port based PTT keying for cwdaemon. (I picked up an Edgeport usb-to-seria

Neil - 2 Great choices here. Elecraft and Linux. If you want a full contest CW system then you can configure TRLinux. I would go easy on running things under Wine - as depending upon what DLL’s have been used - effects how the emulation will work. If you really really need to use a Wi

For my first time ever, I have a computer connected to my radio! (Thanks Elecraft for the parts and great instructions for building the KIO2 interface cable.) Now my problem is how to achieve my desired behavior with that connected Linux computer. My initial goal is to have the computer communicat
