New version 0.14. CW functionality.

[dl2ki]

The CW functionality in the new version 0.14 works very well. CW via the CAT interface and CW via my K3NG keyer with WinKey2 emulation as well.

A few small things caught my eye, but I need to take a closer look. Some new things also take some getting used to.

Congratulations for the excellent work on the software

Thank you very much for your comments. I am also using K3NG in emulation mode for testing the QLog.

I look forward to your comments. To be honest, I had no idea what all had to be done - the change was quite big

Hi, please add to CW Keyers the ability to control CW keying using serial port DTR/RTS pin, for example, like in Fldigi or CwType.

fldigi or cwtype are not LOG applications. Likewise, QLog is not a Keyer application. Therefore, I do not currently plan to implement CW at a low level (direct Morse code generator in QLog). QLog supports Hamlib or WinKey interface. Possible cwdaemon support can be implemented (I don't know if there is a version for Windows).

However, any Pull Request related to this area will be welcomed.

Ok

Hi,
Is it possible to add support for WinKey for version 1?

I don't plan to add this in the near feature, because the TODO list is very long, but I will look at the Winkey1 specification what it would mean to add winkey1 support. If there are no fundamental differences between winkey2, and I will be able to simulate it on K3NG, then it's possible to implement it.

But honestly, wouldn't it be better to use a more modern K3NG keyer with Winkey2 support than a Winkey1 chip that's 20 years old?

Thank you for the quick response. The argument for adding version 1 is that the company microHAM has probably sold around 100K or more microKEYER II devices, which support version 1. Many CW operators may not want to invest in new equipment. Of course, I don't want to put any pressure; it's just my request. I will, of course, follow the changes in the program, as it seems to be very good.
Thank you in advance.
