CW Keying your Yaesu FTdx101MP or FTdx101D with N1MM

[@sp5ddj]

Hello TJ. I am very grateful for the tutorial. I spent a lot of time configuring the connections between my FTdx101MP and N1MM. I uploaded the appropriate files to my PC, set everything up as you stated in the video and...nothing would work. I left the problem until the next day and with a fresh head I tried again - step by step and nothing. I felt that I had not made any mistake in configuring the hardware and that this was not where to look for the problem. For it turned out that the cable connecting the transceiver to the PC was the cause of the problem. This cable was new and supposedly a “good brand” and...when I replaced the cable with another one (taken from the printer) everything started to work ! So thank you again for the great video. Now I can calmly wait for the CQWW DX Contest CW at the end of November. Warm greetings from Poland. Wim, HF5WIM🙂

@@sp5ddj Dzień dobry! I'm very happy you have it figured out! Thank you for watching!

Thank you so much for this very clear video. I have an FTdx10, but these instructions were perfect. I got it working in no time with your help. With computer interfaces, the details really matter!

Thank you for a FB tutorial for computer CW control of the FTdx101mp. Very easy to follow. I did find that N1MM needs to be set to RTS to work and that the radio setting for CW could be either RTS or DTR and still work just fine. N1MM set to DTR CW did not work at all. Strange to me! I am using the latest firmware. It would be great if you did an MMTTY/N1MM/FTdx101MP video and show us how to add RTTY control. It seems there may be some conflicts between CW and RTTY setups. I'd be looking for a seamless setup so all I would need to do I click on digital interface on the N1MM Windows tab and be up and running in RTTY.

Very interesting - I will see if I can give it a try - I havent done much RTTY lately and just tried to do some decoding on my Icom 705 radio. Thanks for the suggestion and thanks for watching!

Thanks for the information, I follow all the steps but I have in an error in winkey, there is a messag A Divice attached to the system is not funtioning. Reboot . or try reconnecting your winkey USB cable, then open/close configururer

When I set up the standard port for CW it says the port is in use. I restarted the PC with the same issue. The enhanced port seems to be working and I can change the frequency. How do I find out what is using the port?

Been messing with setting up N1MM on my FTDX-101D and my TS-890S and IC-9700. Found a few things in your video I am doing wrong. I already use HRD log so not sure if I even need the N1MM but I would like to try some contesting. Working on my CW but it still sucks. I could send everything, but I don't think it is possible to send slow enough for me to copy. Thanks. AB9QU.

Thanks for watching! Keep playing with CW!

Thanks your video saved my butt

[@Rthomas599]

I'm sorry, nothing about wiring in this video. Do you use just one USB/USB cable for both virtual ports or 2 cables including RS232/USB? To have both CAT and CW options. 73, Roman, 5B4AQN

[@k9kj]

Sorry about that. There is only one USB cable connecting the radio and computers. That single cable is able to handle everything.

@@k9kj I got it, many thanks!

Hi its me again, sorry to bother you. Eventually I got N1MM to load on my pc and followed your setting up with my FTDX10. So far so good even got the cw to key by the F keys. Now I have my cw speed set to 20 wpm but using the f key its sending above 25wpm.. How can I match NIMM to my radio cw speed ? Thanks

[@k9kj]

From what I understand, the CW speed that is controlled by the software will always be independent of the keyer speed on your radio. You would have to match both of them up in order for them to match. I don't know that there is a way for the software to control the yaesu

[@SteveG4YTK]

@@k9kj I have found that out now but, I am old fashioned, to me the art is sending not using the logbook keyboard to send. I have not spent my money on a Begali dual paddle to do that. Thanks for your reply looking forward to video on N1MM uploading the CWT log.

Is there any pc software for the 101mp that reads and sends CW?

[@k9kj]

I'm not 100 percent sure. There are many that will key CW with the 101, but not sure about reading
