[Elecraft] Re: my settings, so far -> Winkeyer USB and Elecraft K2

[John Huffman]

Steve, Mike -

I set the Winkey to Ratio 45, Weight 65, Sample (Paddle Switchpoint) 35. 
  Thanks to Mike for the Sample setting.  I have not yet tried the setup 
Steve is using for testing, but this sounds and feels pretty good to me.

I do still hear a difference, as if the K2 is "snappier" but, that's probably the mojo talking.  The Winkeyer is nice and even is also PIC-based like the K2, but I don't think it has any mojo.
