[hpsdr] CW break-in ?

[List Mail]

The problem is that in CW mode the HPSDR will transmit when you operate (or 
accidently touch) the key regardless of the settings.

I had thought of rewiring my HPSDR system too, but I occasionally use modes 
other than CW. The PTT works normally for phone, and in digital modes I use 
the automatic switching, but the HPSDR will go to transmit when I am in CW 
mode and operate the paddles. I prefer to use a foot switch to operate the 
transmitter in CW and Phone modes. Full break-in is not an option for my 
system, as I have too many relays in amplifiers, etc.

Hello Dom, I am remembering what I did some months ago on 4m using an
ANAN-10 and a ME4T-PRO transverter and a PA. This was when I was
operating from G4NOK. As a VHF operator I have never used any form of
VOX or break in as the the QRO relays are just not designed for it and I
am not clever like SM5BSZ who used QRO with PIN diodes on 2m.

Anyway what I did was use a PTT switch and/or footswitch via a
sequencer. This sequencer had 4 stages and the 4th stage was used to
drive the external PTT on the ANAN-10. I know that you have done the
same thing many times before with conventional radios as you are a
member of VHF and above DX royalty here in Europe :-)

So why not do the same with your ANAN setup?

If you are worried about low level RF from the ANAN driving your
transverter prematurely by accidentally hitting the CW key I am sure
that Break in can be turned off. As I say this is a good while ago now.
