Digirig to Monitor CW

1

So I was using a QRP radio as a CW keyer for another transceiver which does not have a keyer. Things were working well.

Then the Digirig made everything a lot better, when I started using it to monitor the audio output (not the PTT or PA output!) of the QRP transceiver:

  1. I used the Digirig’s USB audio output channel to record my CW in Audacity.
  2. I used the Digirig’s USB audio output channel as an input to Zoom classroom, for others to hear my CW.
  3. I did not have to buy an external soundcard mixer and just used the Digirig.
  4. I could keep headphones plugged into the AUX jack on my computer to monitor.
  5. I could “get by” without buying a stand-alone keyer for CW.

The Digirig keeps saving me money, space and time in my shack.
