Specifications
An important parameter is the priority you grant to the CW transmission compared to the
other programs. Indeed, Windows is a pre-emptive multitasking system : that means that it
shares the CPU time to the various programs to enable them to be carried out simultaneously
(at least seemingly).
This principle is not very compatible with the generation of CW code! Therefore TRX-Manager
sets by default the High priority option which slows down execution of the other programs
loaded in memory. Please check the Normal option if you encounter crashes or check the Real
Time option to stop all the other programs.
Of course, TRX-Manager resets to its initial priorities when the CW transmission is ended.
During the CW transmission, sound is disabled the same as when the Web Cluster
automatically loads. The mouse remains active but it is advised to leave it motionless in order
not to slow down the keying.
B) KEYING VIA CAT (INTERNAL CW KEYER)
Direct Keying via CAT is possible for some transceivers by checking the CW Internal option
under the tab of the corresponding transceiver (TRX1-4). This option is available with
TS-570/870/2000/590/990 K2/K3/KX3 OR for Remote operation (from CLIENT). In these
cases, you don't need any additional interface.
Please note the CW Internal options (TRX1..4 tabs) have the priority over any
other settings of the CW Tab for a transceiver which supports keying via CAT. This option has
no effect for a transceiver which does not support keying via CAT and in that case
TRX-Manager applies settings of the CW tab.
C) KEYING USING WINKEY
Please see the specific section of the help related to Winkey.
Other settings to choose from Setup
For all configurations.
Special characters: related to the CW Characters set,
TX Auto: automatic switch into TX mode (not available with CW Internal and Winkey
options)
TX Delay: delay between TX mode and beginning of the transmission,
CQ Delay: delay for the CQ Sequencer.
