Added DTR usage for transmit keying (e.g. amateur radio) |

Line 30:
Another category of devices commonly powered by the DTR line includes converters between RS-232 and other serial standards such as [[RS-422]] and [[RS-485]].
==Use for transmit keying==
In many radio modem implementations, especially in amateur radio, the DTR is used to control transmission. The radio receives when DTR is not asserted, typically passing audio in to a software modem. When DTR is asserted the radio transmits audio coming from the software modem. In cases where the radio is controlled by serial commands (e.g. a [[Computer Aided Transceiver]] interface) the control data flows regardless of DTR state.
