Will Writelog send CW with just the com port connected to the rig?
I thought if you wanted to use a com port for rig control and CW you needed
to build a cable that had the CW keying circuit running to the key jack and
the rig control cables going to the rig control connector.
Or does the 746 let you control a build-in CW keyer thru the rig interface?
