N1MM Com Port CW
Locked
 
|
I would like to move away from LPT keying which consists of a simple
homebrew transistor circuit and use the (or at least try) serial port keying using N1MM I have configured N1MM software thus: Elecraft K3 on Com1 CW box ticked Speed 38400 Parity N Databits 8 Stop bits 1 DTR always off RTS always off Radio 1 Footswitch (pin6) None CW/PTT Port Addr F38 Rig control works ok but it's not keying the transceiver. Now go easy on me men I know that it's soooooo obvious to someone what I have/haven't done but I'm buggered if I know what it is.

In N1MM set DTR to CW for COM-1. In the K3 config menu, go to the KEY - PTT menu
item and set it to DTR - OFF. That means keying will use the DTR signal and PTT will be OFF. You can also set PTT in the same manner. In MM, set DTR to CW and RTS to PTT. Then set the KEY - PTT menu to DTR - RTS. Keep in mind I am not by my radio right now and this is from memory. The menu item may be PTT - KEY vice KEY - PTT. If thats the case, you just need to reverse entry, i.e.... RTS - DTR vice DTR - RTS. ------------------------- 73, Greg - AB7R Whidbey Island WA NA-065 On Fri Aug 1 12:35 , "g4mkp" sent: >I would like to move away from LPT keying which consists of a simple >homebrew transistor circuit and use the (or at least try) serial port keying >using N1MM > > > >I have configured N1MM software thus: > >Elecraft K3 on Com1 > >CW box ticked > >Speed 38400 > >Parity N > >Databits 8 > >Stop bits 1 > >DTR always off > >RTS always off > >Radio 1 > >Footswitch (pin6) None > >CW/PTT Port Addr F38 > > > >Rig control works ok but it's not keying the transceiver.

Thanks for the assistance. Still can't get it to work with software switches
so will look at the hardware interfacing and go through the set-up again in detail.

Terry
N1MM and the K3 work together without necessarily needing additional hardware to key the K3. There may be an irritation where the K3 keys up as you boot up the PC, but apart from that it does work. Drop me an e-mail off-line and I will send you the screen grabs from N1MM showing the settings... Check your SPAM settings too as many don't like my elecraft e-mail address as it has been used by spammers at times. 73 Dave, G4AON K3/100 #80 ---------------- Thanks for the assistance.

Sussed! Faulty RS232 lead. It's a wee bit too short and the sharp 90 degree bend into the rig had caused pin 4 wire to come adrift. My fault entirely but you guys have been very helpful since having had the software switches and set-up verified by at least six of you it had to be the hardware interface - 'when you have eliminated everything else whatever remains is the answer'. What is noticeable is the complete lack of EMC issues with serial port cw keying compared to the homebrew SO2R box which included the parallel port keying circuit and bucket loads of ferrites. I can now return those to the storage draws. Thanks and cheers, Terry G4MKP ....with Fw 2.23 loaded now! Thanks Dave G4AON. _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: [hidden email] You must be a subscriber to post to the list. Subscriber Info (Addr.
