Attn: Hams! Need help with CW/RTTY software for C64 or Apple II

Hi, Gary.

That would be perfect. I'm not interested in doing packet or amtor
or anything like that. CW and good ol' Baudot RTTY.

The CP-1, as it sits, has a TTL cable attached to it, with a plug on
the end that should fit into a joystick port. There is an RS-232
option, but the components aren't installed on the pcb. However,
the manual has a full schematic and a parts list, with the parts
necessary for the RS-232 option marked. So, I suppose I could add
them if necessary, but if I'm going to use the C=64, the current
cable should do just fine.

This might be a good opportunity to use the SX-64 I've got....

Actually, I've got a choice of two brown 64's as well, so I might just
go with the standard and a regular monitor. I'm not going to be
typing CW, so the slightly awkward keyboard shouldn't be a
problem.

Let me know how you want to do this.

Thanks!

73,
