Ports: Cw And Ptt From Lpt (Parallel Port); Ports: Cw/Ptt Steering; Ports: Steer Fsk; Ports: Steer Winkey Cw/Ptt - microHAM micro2R u2R User Manual

micro2R includes an LPT interface for "CT/NA compatible" CW and PTT inputs.
When the "Use LPT for CW" box is checked, micro2R will accept CW input on
pin 16 of the LPT input. The red arrow indicates when LPT CW is active (key
down).
When the "Use LPT for PTT" box is checked, micro2R will accept PTT input from
pin 17 of the LPT. The red arrow indicates when LPT PTT input is active.
NOTE: Never enable more than one CW source at a time. You must select which source (WinKey,
Serial or LPT CW) will be used by micro2R. Selecting multiple sources will result in
distorted CW output.
TIP: If you plan to use micro2R with DOS based software, check "Use LPT for CW" and "Use LPT
for PTT" and save that selection using "Device | Store as Power-up Settings" from the Router menu.
When manual control of transmit focus is selected in micro2R, 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. Selecting "Steer serial CW/PTT" will allow Router and
micro2R work properly with those applications.
When steering is enabled, the Serial CW, Serial PTT and 2
radios. The active radio will be selected based on the "steering" control signal (TX focus) defined on the
SO2R tab.
Some applications, particularly day-to-day logging programs like 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
radio. When FSK steering is enabled the RADIO_1 FSK and 2
The active radio will be selected based on the "steering" control signal (TX focus) defined on the SO2R
tab.
Some applications like DXLab Suite, DX4Win and WriteLog use the original
WinKey protocol even though they support multiple radios. This limits WinKey to a
single CW output with no "two radio" support.
Steer WinKey CWPTT allows micro2R to steer the "RADIO 1" CW and PTT outputs of WinKey 2 to the
active radio based on the "steering" control signal (TX focus) defined on the SO2R tab.
