I recently purchased a new computer (P4 3.0 GHZ) using Windows XP which
has two serial ports and one lpt and a Creative SB live sound card. My
rigs are an FT1000D and an FT1000MP and I have used the two serial ports
to control the two rigs. I should like to be able to "automate" both
transceivers to generate CW messages in contests but to date have not
succeeded.
I gather that there are "devices"on the market that will act as
interfaces between the computer and the radio to accomplish this,
possibly using a USB port. Ultimately I should also like to be able to
generate SSB messages using the sound card.
In the meantime I wish to ask all you learned folks on the reflector for
some advice on the subject.
With respect
Ron
