[Elecraft] [K3] Logging programs and internal keyer

[Carl Clawson]

I've had several off-list responses about this telling me pretty much the
same thing:

The "KY" command that sends text to the internal keyer has been looked at
and deemed insufficient to support the demands of high performance contest
software. Too much latency on the serial bus, no way to sync up with message
completion, no way to edit messages once they've gone down the bus.

(Having dealt with a few RS232 buses in my day, I agree they can be a major
pain in the anatomy when you need to operate a device in a fast,
deterministic, reliable way.)

Well, I don't mind buying an accessory if it improves performance but dang!
I'd like to have all that hardware in one box!

73 & thanks for all the answers,
