Cw/Winkey Tab - microHAM micro KEYER 2R Manual

Invert FSK: Unlike AFSK, an FSK signal cannot be inverted by most application programs (like MMTTY)
because the UART used in a normal serial port lacks that capability. Since MK2R is a software
defined interface it can be made to invert the FSK signal. When the Invert FSK box is checked
MK2R changes the "at rest" state of the FSK output and front panel FSK light. The green FSK LED
will light continuously (Mark) and go off when FSK is shifted (Space). If your radio requires reverse
FSK, your first choice should be the radio's configuration options, not MK2R (check your operating
manual for specific information). Invert FSK should be checked only for radios (like the Ten-Tec
Omni or Kenwood TS-930) which do not provide this support.
This tab provides the configuration for the internal, K1EL WinKeyer2 based, CW keyer. A complete
WinKey manual can be downloaded from: http://k1el.tripod.com/WinkeyUSBman.pdf. Thanks to Steve
Elliott, K1EL for this great product.
WinKey can be controlled by a host application or operate in stand alone mode controlled by Router.
Switching between these two modes is fully automatic based on the state of the virtual port assigned to
WinKey on the Ports tab. When an application opens the WinKey port, Router becomes fully transparent
and provides only a USB bridge to WinKey. The configuration and operation of WinKey are completely
under host control. Router does not modify communication and does not change any settings. When this
happens, the options on the CW/WinKey tab are grayed out. Only those settings not related to WinKey
can be changed.
When the port is closed, WinKey parameters can be changed from this tab. Every change is applied
immediately. If Overwrite host settings is checked, Router will restore the parameters set on the WinKey
tab when an application closes (releases) the WinKey port. If Overwrite host settings is not checked,
WinKey will retain the last used settings until a change is made on the WinKey tab.
All WinKeyer2 inputs and outputs except pin 13 are wired to the MK2R CPU. Pin 13 is connected to pin 6
of the PAD MiniDIN jack for user supplied WinKeyer2 command buttons.
Paddle Mode
Iambic A (Curtis)
–
Iambic B (Accu-keyer)
–
Ultimatic (Single lever)
–
Bug Keyer
–
(Vibroplex emulation)
Priority – In Ultimatic mode one
can chose DIT or DAH
priority for dual lever
paddles. If no priority is
selected, the keyer works in
a "last paddle wins" mode.
Paddle set point - controls when WinKey begins looking for a new paddle press after sensing the current
one. The default value is one dit time (50) and is adjustable in percent of a dit time.
Disable paddle memory – When checked, DIT (or DAH) insertion is disabled.
Swap paddles - Reverse paddle sense for left handed operation or improperly wired paddle.
Auto space - Keyer generates automatic character space.
