[Elecraft] Winkeyer -> K2 ... weighting equality

[Mike Harris]

Hi,

Interesting this.

I struggled for ages with trying to use mHAM CW Keyer (iambic B) until I 
dropped the paddle setpoint setting to 35.  After that it is almost the 
same as the K2 keyer.  Now when using the PC for contest logging I can 
drop to the paddles without making a total hash of what I'm trying to 
send.  I only use the mHAM a couple of times a year.

It will be interesting to see how the K2 and K3 internal keyers compare. 
The two CW instrument ports on the K3 could be the solution.

Regards,

Mike VP8NO

| The internal keyer in my K2 seems to have a different 'weighting' (or 
something) compared to my new K1EL Winkeyer.
|
| I have been playing with the settings on the latter to try and make 
these two devices 'sound' the same.
|
| Frankly, after 8+ years, I've grown to like the K2's rhythm in this 
sense, but don't really care much for the UI of the built-in keyer when 
operating 'fixed.'  And, I needed PC control from several applications, 
anyway.  So I'm converting to the external gizmo.

| So far, the subtleties of the set-up have eluded me.  Anyone else do 
this yet, successfully?  Or am I just being very, um, picky?
