PTT Pedals for HAM Radio PC software
🕑 Added 2023-11-15 18:07:44 +0000 UTCI use the SDRconsole software for my QO-100 station and SmartSDR for my Flex radio. Both have in common that they run on a PC. I like such programs because they work with a mouse. With one exception: I want a PTT, preferably a foot switch, to keep my hands free. I had to search and experiment till I found out how it works. I want to save you this time and share my learnings. No worries: It will be a short video.

Hi Lou, :-)) Fortunately, 7MHz and 10GHz do not have a lot of interferences ;-)

Just don't run both software at the same time or maybe you can call CQ on 2 bands at once! ;-)

Hi Lou, sounds like a good idea. I will try it

Andreas use CTS for SDRConsole. Then add a transistor so when the foot switch brings CTS to ground, it triggers a transistor to connect DTR to DSR. Now you have one pedal to support both
