I tried HAM Radio Deluxe , N1MM ,CW Skimmer on FTDX10 and FTDX101D ,but it didn't transmitted .It's easy to use these software to decode CW or manual CW transmitting .But it's not so easy to transmit CW signal by PC .Maybe there are something wrong in setting .If you know how to operate  CW transmitting on PC ,Please tell me .Thanks a lot .
     Good luck to everyone !

Chaojie, The only one I can think of is a free program/software called:  FLDIGI  You can look it up on line.  I have used it and it does a good job of CW copy and sending direct from the program.  Also does logging, and contest.  It also does other ( lots of ) digital modes.  Take a look.  There may be others, not sure.  FLDIGI, has a very good online help / user guide.  Very long.  Hope that helps you.

I have it working with HRD most recent version and my FTDX10.  Do you have an HRD license?

I have had my FTdx-10 for over a year and it is easy to  send CW with a COM port on N1MM. You use your non enhanced Silicon Labs COM port to send cw. You have to have a fast 4 core processor to do a good job. Slower Lap tops send a little choppy if there are other background programs running you might need a Winkeyer in that case. In configuration you set COM 6 in my case to send cw  with your Macros. You just type your CQ, Exchange in your F-Key Macros. Fldigi is about the best software to decode CW but it still is not as good as my Human ear. I suggest you download the CAT Command Manual from Yaesu website and that will guide you to writing your own CAT commands for Your late model Yaesu Radio and read the N1MM Manual to use the CAT or CIV command in the case of Icom Radios. The Command Prefix in N1MM is   {CAT1ASC the rig cat command here} simpler in other loggers. There is software out there and there are commands to add to software like NiMM, flrig and DX Lab Commander you can add to the software to send CW  and Voice keying by CAT Commands or Macros to send CW or voice Keying. There are also wildcards in logging software to send the other stations Call. Read the downloadable pdf Manual on N1MM it is a great resource N1MM is a great logger that will do a lot for you if you take the time to learn it.  I hope that helps. 73 Gerry

Correct ! Manual CW operation is always the basic skill . Especially in some emergence situation .

Manual CW operation and PC auto CW operation are both important in different scene.

Sir,thanks for you reply .If you said it's possible to use N1MM to transmit the CW signal .There must be some errors in my setting .The laptop used for my ham radio is in good condition ,so it's not the source of bug. I will read the PDF of N1MM more carefully and check the setting of my N1MM .Good luck !

Thank you .I never heard of this software .I will find it and try it .In our region,most of the ham use HRD、N1MM、Logger32 and so on .Some of the ham use MixW as well .Good luck !

If you have the USB driver installed on the computer you can transmit CW on the FTdx-10 with DM 780.

Put the rig in CW mode. In DM-780 use the CW mode from the drop down mode list (the top one)
Radio in BK IN, Keyer on. Away you go.
