NOTE:
the output volume on these 5 software cw keyers was set "low" for this video. All the CW keyers have a very pleasant cw note, and use "raised cosine" waveshaping for the edges with adjustable rise and fall time.

NOTE:
there are a few random pops in the audio, these are from audio buffer OVER or UNDER runs - and not from the software cw keyers themselves. [ The software program used to make this video challenged the CPU.]

NOTE: if you are interested in the FABULATECH serial port splitter
program used in this video, see this article here: http://qrqcwnet.ning.com/forum/topics/useful-software-for-amateur-r...
