    I've released SVN 3335 of PowerSDR @:
svn://206.216.146.154|/svn/repos_sdr_windows/PowerSDR/branches/kd5tfd/PennyMerge/bin/Release

    This is a take two on the changes  release and reverted earlier in
the week - think they are correct now.

    This code includes Ozy_Janus.rbf v 16 which refines the ptt and
keyer connections on the Ozy DB9 so that PTT, Dot and Dash are now
independent signals:   They are:

    Pin 5:  Common/Ground
    Pin 6:  Dash
    Pin 7:  Dot
    Pin 8   PTT

    If you do not have QSK selected, Mox/PTT needs to be asserted for
Dot and Dash to be effective.


I couldn't tell you which(either/both) to use for a straight key.

Good Luck

Chris
