Hi, I have an IC-705, WFVIEW and N1MM+ logger on a Microsoft Surface Pro 9
I want to send CW using N1MM+ logger via WLAN to the IC-705
Does WFVIEW support this?

Hi.
Not directly, but you can connect N1MM+ to wfview via a virtual serial port. Sharing Control Overview | wfview

Hi Phil, thanks for your reply. I have N1MM+ connected to the IC-705 wirelessly through wvfiew using a virtual serial port. (N1MM+ is reflecting the frequency which I tune the radio to). But the CW, generated by N1MM+, does not key the IC-705. I have tried N1MM+ using direct USB connection (not using wfview) and it keys the IC-705 OK. So wondering whether there is a trick I’m missing to do CW wirelessly?

Hi Tim,
How are you keying the CW? N1MM supports multiple modes. If you are using DTR/RTS keying, then this cannot work, as this information isn’t available over WiFi/LAN connections.
The only method that can possibly work is “CW Keying Over CAT Commands” https://n1mmwp.hamdocs.com/setup/interfacing/#cw-keying-using-cat-commands
It is not as flexible as the other methods, as it simply tells the rig to send individual strings of characters, and isn’t officially supported by the N1MM+ developers. It also doesn’t allow you to use the N1MM+ CW keyboard to send (although you should be able to use the wfview CW window for this.

Ah, that’s useful to know; thanks Phil.
So it looks like I will have to revert to USB lead connection to use CW sending from N1MM+ keyboard… Fine except the USB link makes lots of noise on the upper HF bands! I’d better try even more ferrites!.. 
Thanks again for your help!

Hi Timbo,
I am now working on exactly the same… Initially I was thinking that I could send CW from whatever logger via RTS/CTS (CW/PTT) but it seems that I have to configure this within an ICOM7300 and then I lose the USB CI-V interface… It can either work as CW/PTT or CI-V… (Seems that IC7100 gives you two serial ports over USB so I have to set uo and test) but I was also thinking of using a remote computer or raspberry to simply have a WinKey connected to another usb/serial and either having n1mm+ running remotely and accessing the n1mm via UDP 12060(or whatever). I haven’t though tested if I can have a N1MM running as a “server”.
My idea would be - and that is feature request - to add a virtual comport to wfview, which would “emulate” the WinKey (limited) and would allow for simple - change Speed and send characters…nothin more. That way interfacing to logger wouldnt require any add. HW even for rigs like IC705/7610 etc. But I have no idea how hard that would be.

Hi. I’ve connected our 7610 directly to wfview. Connected then N1MM via TCP to wfview and set the CW Macros like F4 {MYCALL},{CAT1HEX FEFE98e0174446315152FFFD}
Command 17 calls CW TX with the following ASC coded signs, ending by FF and FD to close the command. Surely it is not usable for contests but for a quick DXpedition or a new DXCC and a fast 5nn tu with
F2 Exch,{CAT1HEX FEFE98e017354E4E205455FFFD} and a EE like
F3 Tu,{CAT1HEX FEFE98e0174545FFFD}
it is ok. You can find a simple ASCII Table here. You have to change the CI-V Adress from 98 for IC_7610 to A4 for the IC-705.
