Configure PowerSDR Keyer Connections
We can setup PowerSDR to connect to third party CW programs using the CAT port (i.e. the COM port
used for CAT control - COM 6 in Figure 165). To do so, on the PowerSDR Setup Form, select the DSP
Tab and then the Keyer Sub-Tab (Figure 166).

Group, set
Primary
to the port you have your paddles or straight key
connected to (Figure 166 shows 5000 to indicate the FLEX-5000 rear panel key jack). Set
Secondary
(used for keyers and programs) to
CAT
to use the same (virtual) COM port used for CAT Control. Set
PTT Line

and

. Note that CAT Control must be enabled (see the previous
section) before this will work. Click
