Audio and Keyers

CW keyer

A CW keyer with macros and F-key macros. The keyer engine is selectable (Settings → CW Keyer):

• WinKeyer — K1EL WK1/2/3 over a COM port.
• Icom — the radio's own keyer over CI-V, no extra hardware. Works over the remote link too. (Requires the Icom CAT backend; set break-in to SEMI/FULL or the rig keys the sidetone but stays in RX.)
• TCI — for TCI backends.

Digital Voice Keyer (DVK)

Record F1–F6 voice messages and transmit them. Set the audio devices, PTT method and gains in Settings → Audio.

• PTT method: CAT, RTS, DTR, or none (VOX).
• Test PTT keys the rig briefly. On CAT/OmniRig the key is held ~1.5 s so the transmit command is actually sent (OmniRig is asynchronous and coalesces rapid writes).

QSO audio recording

Continuous rolling capture. On Log QSO the contact is saved to a per-QSO WAV (CALL_YYYYMMDD_HHMMSS.wav), mixing RX + mic. Configure the recordings folder, format (WAV / MP3), pre-roll and gains in Settings → Audio.

RX audio monitor (USB rigs)

Settings → Audio → Listen to radio pipes the rig's received audio (its "USB Audio CODEC" input) through your speakers, so you hear the radio inside OpsLog. Talk to radio keys PTT and pipes your mic to the rig's audio input. (Network audio for remote Icom is a work in progress — see Remote Icom over the Internet.)
