    Default Memory keyer cw program for the radio?

    Is there a program that works as a memory keyer. I would like to interface the the computer and radio and use the computer as a memory keyer. I would like to be able to send extened cq strings.

    Thanks Brian KB4MNG

    Assuming that you currently have no way of keying your rig from the computer, I suggest getting the K1EL Winkeyer USB (k1el.com) as your computer/USB-to-rig CW device. The keyer itself has 4 memories and a quite a number of programs work with this keyer, allowing more memories.

    Pretty much all the digital mode programs do CW or MCW. The difference between the two is that when working CW, you hook the computer up to the key jack on your radio and set the rig to CW mode. When working MCW, you leave the rig in USB and the computer generates a tone.

    The MCW circuitry is more complex, but you can use it for a all digital modes, including PSK and RTTY.

    If you ONLY want to do CW, then you can get by with a simple keying circuit, either an optoisolator or transistor based circuit, and something like Ham Radio Deluxe or any other digital mode software.

    Try this link: there's lots of stuff listed here:

    This can be easily written. I've already written an automatic Ider software that ID's your station in CW or MCW depending on your interface. This can be very easily adapted with user entered strings of text and command buttons to trigger the sending.

    Doesn't this take the fun out of radio though?

    If you can't find one out there already made, send me an email and I'll add it to my list of projects. It would be very simple to code since all of the hard work has already been done.
    Could we with ink the ocean fill and were the skies of parchment made, Were every stalk on earth a quill and every man a scribe by trade. To write the love of God above would drain the oceans dry, nor could the scroll contain the whole though stretched from sky to sky.
