[Dx4win] microKEYER II Question

[ON4AOI]

This will a very interesting debat

I think it's a matter of timing  
I will reply with my findings later on today
The only thing that is different here is that I feed
The microkeyer II with external power and not from the 
Radio, in urouter you can setup sleepmode, when the radio
Is off the mkII goes to sleepmode but stays on,
The result is that it connects much quicker with the radio
Then when you switch it on with the radio.
