Hey guys I am very new to this.  I have everything setup just about right I think. Problem is, when I send CW the transmit light comes on the radio, my Amp fires up, but its a constant signal and not bokken like CW that I can hear  I have a TS-890 and am using HAMLIB mode in the app.  Any ideas?

Some rigs have a specific digital mode like USB-D. Some older ones just use the USB mode. My point is that the rig should not be in CW mode, but the same mode as you use for any other digital mode like PSK31.

Realize that the soundcard CW will not be keying the transmitter on and off, but only sending audio to the rig that will be heard on the other end as if you were doing manual CW and keying the rig off and on.

If the rig supports cw PC keying or in RTTY;  ExtFSK keying then no afsk mode in a ssb derivative nor soundcard is required, and CW and RTTY mo0des may be used direct

with this method, I see that FLdigi supports this.

Correct. You still receive via the soundcard, but the TX can be controlled several ways like you've seen.

Can FLdigi log a qso like this ? It still has the other parties call in the sent transmission. ?

You can log what ever is in the Logging area of fldigi. It doesn't even have to be be something current, but then the times/date will be wrong. You could fix the time/date later by editing the log entry.

Cliff, doesn't the send field forward to log the field sent PCkeying/RTS  ?

N1MM does this with the same method.
