CW with SDR Console

#1

Unread post by F6GLJ »

Hello, I use an Adalm Pluto with SDR Console on QO-100, and I don't know where to plug the key, and if any special configuration is required.

Thank you for your answers.

I may be wrong but I don't think there is any specific way of catering for CW "mode" for Pluto. You might need to use this method (YouTube video) to send tone into audio circuit, USB mode, and use VOX as semi break-in mode.

I've learned that CW with SDRs is not always easy due to finding ways around the latency issue. Quite often the easiest way for sidetone is to use a keyer with built-in sidetone. But in this video he uses the CW Get audio for sidetone.

There may be a way with Pluto to just build the Com port keyer interface described in the video and use that interface with CW mode in SDRC but I'm not sure how that will work with Pluto? Simon does not specifically mention CW in the Pluto guidance:
