1.2 MK2R+
1.2.1 Proposed Virtual Port numbers
Note: The absolute port numbers do not matter. The key is consistency − the same port number must
be used for a specific function every time it is used. The port numbers below will be used (as
proposed by Joe, W4TV).
COM 3 − WinKeyer
(it is best to assign WinKey to the lowest port to avoid loss of CW if another port is activated for CW)
COM 4 − Radio #1 (PTT and Footswitch is optional on this port)
COM 5 − Radio #2 (PTT and Footswitch is optional on this port)
COM 6 − Digital #1 FSK and PTT for Radio #1 (assign Radio 1)
COM 7 − Digital #2 FSK and PTT for Radio #2 (assign Radio 2)
COM 8 − MK2R Protocol port
The porposed ports below are used at PA1M where PA1T does not have COM 3 and also uses the
LPT port.
Ouch it's not working − please check
a.. Confirm that you have selected the correct soundcard for audio in N1MM and microHAM Router.
b.. Confirm that you have selected the correct wave file path in N1MM Logger.
c.. Confirm that you have the correct audio connections between microKEYER and the soundcard (all
three cables).
d.. Double−check the preamp setting (jumpers) in the microKEYER (enabled for dynamic mic,
bypassed for electret mic).
e.. Confirm that any wave files are being played back on the left channel of the soundcard
(microKEYER uses left only).
a.. For debugging purposes it is very convenient to connect a set of powered computer speakers in
parallel with the soundcard "Line Out" (microKEYER SOUNDCARD OUT jack).
b.. If you hear the proper audio but it doesn't reach the radio, the issue is in microKEYER's audio
switching ...
c.. if you do not hear the right audio the issue is in the software (N1MM Logger or Windows).
d.. Refer to the Set−up Guide for microKEYER and N1MM Logger for Router configuration
information and the N1MM Logger manual for N1MM configuration information.
e.. microKEYER/N1MM Set−up Guide is available through the "Download Documents" link in Router's
"Help" menu.
Q. Where are the MK2R settings stored
A. Using Router version 5 and up: C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application
Data\microHAM\cfg\
Q. How to set up WYH on the MK2R
A. When WYH is selected it simply switches the headphone feed to the USB Audio CODEC
andrecords 'what you hear'. The audio settings selected by the RECORDING/DIGITAL LEFT/RIGHT
controls are ignored. WYH is designed to be able to record 'what you hear'.
WYH is headphone audio and will be effected by the radio volume control.
Q. How to setup SSB
What kind of microphone are you using and how is it connected? You MUST set the jumpers correctly
on the Live mic preamp based on the type of microphone and you must configure the soundcards
correctly in Router.
If you can play a wave file via USB Voice CODEC, the CODEC driver is installed (it is built into
Windows and not a microHAM driver). However, N1MM Logger REQUIRES that the Audio Settings
tab (in N1MM Logger) is set up properly to select the correct inputs.
Further, if your computer has a motherboard soundcard that uses the RealTek HD audio chipset (or
an add−in soundcard by SoundMax with the RealTek HD audio chipset), N1MM Logger will often
