I know I posted a topic on the "Chat Commands" in text but here is the first of 3 videos I made explaining how to use them. I hate to be redundant but sometimes watching something is a lot easier than reading it.... at least it is for me!!

Hello Richard,

I posted this earlier in another section on the forum.

A morse key can be connected via the serial port to send CW.
If you don't have a serial port (as most new PCs don't), you can buy a high speed serial port card to insert into a spare slot. You then connect your key directly to the serial port using an old serial mouse (cut off mouse and just use the cable).
Alternatively, buy a usb to serial port adapter and attach the mouse cable to that.

Once you have the key connected, you have to use a keying program to get the signal into Hamsphere.
There are quite a few free programs around. ie. EHOCW at www.f8eho.net, CWCOMM at www.mrx.com.au or Dahdidah at [qsonet.com]

I think they all have instructions on how to get the key to work via the serial port.

Once it is all up and running you key Hamsphere using the PTT and send CW. Don't forget to turn off the PTT when your transmission is completed.

You have to use DSB not "CW Mode" as you can't use a key in CW Mode. This has been confirmed by Kelly and the option cannot be implemented in future releases.

Hope it helps you.

Hello again Bruce
Thanks a million for the posts. You are helping a lot of folks including me! I'm going to try and find my old key and get it set up as you explained. Much appreciated.

Hello John
I don't quite understand your question.... You cannot access the "controls?"
Have you downloaded the software? Can you see the transceiver on your monitor?
Be a little more specific and I'll do whatever I can to help you along.
