Thread: CW Keyer software

  1. #1

    Default CW Keyer software

    Does anyone know of a good programme that could be used instead of a manual key? I know years ago some RTTY equipment had a CW option.

    I'm not looking for CW training software as I have G4FON and Just Learn Morse Code already loaded.

    What I'm looking to do is try out a QPR CW transceiver but use a notebook instead of a CW key.

    CWget http://www.dxsoft.com/en/products/cwget/ is a good decoder, but I can't remember if it can send.

    MultiPSK http://multipsk.eqth.info/ on the other hand, can do most things, it's not the prettiest, or the simplest GUI, but it does work...

    Thanks Dem the French one does look to have everything but because its French looks a bit complicated, I had a look at the CwGet v2.25 and found CwType v2.10 to go with it so sorted: http://www.dxsoft.com/en/products/cwtype/

    Just need to find a USB lead that will fit most rigs (possibly a FT857D or FT817 - I am on the look out for a cheap CW one band transceiver so maybe a way of connected the notebook to that).

    Can you use VOX?

    A new(er) notebook will not have a serial port, so you'll need a USB to SERIAL lead to use this:-

    That looks interesting where can I get one from.

    Also the CWGet costs about $35 no sure if I trust the link although the CWType is freeware

    I got most of it from scavenging, the optoisolator cost about 50p
