Hi,
I just received my Orion Monday and have been interfacing it with my
main computer and have a question for you guys…
I would like to hook up my PTT/CW/FSK interface (home brew with
opto’s) to the AUX I/O jack and have the rig ready for any mode. I like
to operate RTTY using FSK and have found a small problem and was
wondering how the rest of you have solved it.
Here is how I have my connections to my interface made currently; the
PTT (Pin 3) is used for PTT in SSB and FSK modes. I use a foot switch
so I use a Y cable to connect the foot switch to the interface PTT, the
FSK goes to pin 7, audio out (from soundcard) to pin 1, left audio out
pin 4 (to left soundcard channel), right audio out pin 6 (to right sound
card channel), and pin 2 to ground.
The only thing missing is a way to connect the CW jack from my
interface to Pin 3 when I’m in CW mode. I could use a switch and
manually select whether Pin3 connects to the CW jack on the interface or
the footswitch/PTT from interface combo.
Does anyone else have an automatic solution or does everyone use a
switch or manually swap cables?
Thanks,
George / KF9YR
