CW/PTT steering
When manual control of transmit focus is selected in MK2R, CW (including WinKey) and PTT signals will be
redirected to the active (selected) radio. This function was implemented to avoid confusion and assure the
"expected" behavior. This means that CW and PTT signals for both radios will be directed to the selected
(active) radio.
Some logging programs do not support two radios or are designed to generate
only one set of keying signals which are connected to the selected radio using a
steering (A/B) control. Select the "Steer serial CW/PTT" to allow Router and
MK2R work properly with those applications.
nd
When steering is enabled, the Serial CW, Serial PTT and 2 PTT channels for RADIO1 are also used for
RADIO2 and the active radio will be selected based on the "steering" control signal (TX focus) defined on
the SO2R tab.
Steer FSK
Some applications, particularly day-to-day logging programs like DXLab Suite or DX4Win, do
not support simultaneous operation of two radios but they do permit switching radios.
Steer FSK permits switching the FSK output from the MMTTY engine used by these loggers to the selected
nd
radio. When FSK steering is enabled the RADIO_1 FSK and 2 FSK ports will also be used for RADIO_2.
The active radio will be selected based on the "steering" control signal (TX focus) defined on the SO2R
tab.
Steer WinKey CW/PTT
Some applications, most notably WriteLog, uses the original WinKey protocol with
MK2R. This limits WinKey to a single CW output with no "two radio" support.
Steer WinKey CWPTT allows MK2R to steer the "RADIO 1" CW and PTT outputs of WinKey 2 to the active
radio using the "steering" control signal (TX focus) defined on the SO2R tab.
