You can copy CW with a RIGblaster station hookup or without a RIGblaster, a RIGblaster is only for transmit. All RIGblasters will transmit keyboard CW using sound card transmit such as “HamScope” by KD5HIO. This software sends a pure CW audio tone to the microphone jack with your radio in SSB mode. This will work very well provided you set your transmit audio level for a clean linear output (less than full power). With the nomic there are no relays so the nomic’s optoisolator PTT output may be used for serial port controlled CW keying direct to your radio’s straight key jack, instead of PTT keying.

Our PRO and Plus models do sound card CW and RTTY by directly keying your radio’s straight key jack. Get our plus model if you wish to do true keyed CW.
