Digirig with N1MM+ and a G90

1

I want to start using N1MM+ for logging but more so as a CW Keyer because I am completely inept at manually keying CW.

Has anyone setup a G90 with N1MM+ where CAT , etc. is setup to be handled by N1MM+? Anyone done it with any device?

I tried setting up using FDigi as an “engine” but when I load N1MM my G90 automatically goes into transmit mode.

I did order a Winkey USB mini , but I’m thinking it will still need me to have N1MM setup for playing nice with my G90.

Thanks for any help, new world for me, I’ve done FDigi / WSJTX and OmniRig / WSJTX, but nothing with N1MM.

Curtis,
Please post the screenshot of your current FlDigi configuration (transceiver and ptt). I’ll suggest adjustments.

Try PTT by RTS with corresponding selection in the drop down there:

Also G90’s manual calls for 1 stop bit, not two.

Does anyone have G90 settings for N1mm?

Did you ever resolve this? I have a Digirig and G90 and I’m trying to get them to play nice. CAT control is fine, but keying doesn’t seem to work. I can’t even get the digirig to show up in the COM port list in N1MM

Anthony,
Please share the screenshots of your configuration. The CAT control is handled over the same COM port as PTT.
Please keep in mind that only one application at a time can be using the COM port so if you referenced it in one active app, the other one will not be able to access the same port at the same time.

@K0TX
I currently have this, where COM8 is the digirig, and I’m doing the radio CAT separately to try and just let the digirig focus on CW. I just don’t get the desired behaviour here and wondering whether its even possible to RTS CW with the G90 and digirig?

It is possible to CW with RTS, but standard Digirig cables connect RTS-controlled switch to PTT line of the radio, not CW key socket. Your radio has to support CW by PTT for this to work.

Alternatively you can homebrew a cable with connection from Digirig’s audio socket (sleeve, ring 2) wired to radio’s CW key (sleeve, tip).
