[WL-USERS] CW/PTT/FSK Interface

1999年3月29日 15:34:49 +0000

Eric - I just built a CW/FSK (which includes PTT) interface from a COM 
port. WL does not support FSK from an LPT port. I used the optos, but 
for some reason it wouldn't key the FSK circuit in my FT-1000D. 
Switched to a 2N2222 equiv on the FSK line only, and it works fine. I 
really don't think optos are necessary, but I followed the 
schematics in the docs anyway. Used simple transistor switches with 
CT for years...
