MRP40 Interface Guide

This is one of my favorite applications to use with WKUSB. It's not a logging program but instead
it's a conversational, Morse terminal. It has an excellent CW reader that uses your PC's sound
card to perform DSP tone detection. CW reception is displayed in a multi-channel, sideways,
waterfall display. The best part is that it includes a WinKeyer interface allowing you can send as
well as receive. It's very easy to hook up WKUSB. From the main page, click:
Options->Tx Settings->Send via Winkeyer
A simple WinKeyer configuration dialog box is
displayed. Enter the com port number as reported by
WKscan and click Save. WKUSB is now active and
you can set up configuration options. Select paddle
Keyer Type, Iambic B is most commonly used. Then
if you want to use a single key port with PTT select
Key Port 1 and Ptt, else select either Key Port 1 or
Key Port 2 leaving Ptt off.
Click and hold Tune and WKUSB will key its output
until you release. To get back to the main application
click on the X in the upper left corner of the dialog
box.
Now simply type in the lower text window and Morse will be sent by WKUSB. I recommend
setting TxSpeed=RxSpeed in TX Settings, that way if you copy someone you want to work, your
transmit speed will be set to match theirs automatically. I also like to adjust the text size to display
more lines. That option is under Display.
