The CWType works fine but could not get CWType to key the radio directly. Later, I will delete the one I'm not using. I now have two sets but the one I'm using with the Nomic was downloaded into a separate/default folder so the two CW programs do not interfere with each other. However, I had to download the CWGet and CWType from the program CD to get the right drivers. The provided software on the program CD is a great collection. I dabbled with RTTY after setting it up but see that while it tries to work, I need to get more into the setup to make it work. However, with the Nomic I do not have to use the acoustical coupling. I got it to work on CW with direct connections from earphone output to computer mike input and the computer speaker output to the mike with acoustical coupling and setting my rig (450AT) for VOX. I use CWGet and CWType and have used them before. Reason the guy sold it apparently was because he did not use it enough to justify keeping it because it was in mint/as new condition and it makes me wonder if it was ever used. I got the Nomic from an advertisement here on eHam. Only minor critique: sometimes the NOMIC manual leaves one hanging a bit, does not get into details. I also own a IC703 and plan to try that with the NOMIC and simpler digisoftware doing some picnic table operations when it warms up this summer. I have not used software provided on the CD other than the device drivers, since I generally use HRD digimaster software. The optoisolator in the audio completely cured my clipped/distorted audio and was the final fix I needed for successful remote operations last month! BTW, it also makes for an easy way to use the rig for psk31 and other digimodes as well.I have played with these for over 10 years using simple voltage divider and vox interfaces, but this is much more plugNplay vs spending precious time debugging PC audio settings every time things changed. I got this rigblaster NOMIC as a Christmas present mainly since I'd run into a brick wall trying to use Ham Radio Deluxe for remote rig control in voice mode (eg, using HRD on my laptop while vacationing down south to control my MN based IC746). Got for HRD Remote control but works great for normal digimode
