Does he need a separate RS232 port w/a transistor interface to the
key jack,

Yes, that or an interface that includes a K1EL WinKey devices.

I'm helping a friend interface his FTdx5000 to Writelog. I am not
familiar with the rig. He is able to connect to the rig, display
frequencies, and change modes/bands etc. Now he would like to use
Writelog for sending stored CW messages via the function keys. Does he
need a separate RS232 port w/a transistor interface to the key jack, or
will the rig key via software commands over the existing serial line? If
it will, what are the appropriate port setup parameters to use? We have
tried PC generates, and checking the CW radio button on the rig line,
but no joy.



Thanks & 73
