[Elecraft] Keyers

[Erik N Basilier]

I have had my K1EL Winkeyer USB for a while now.
It is the first keyer I have had which can be set to Ultimatic, and I find I 
make fewer mistakes in that mode. A plus over the K3 built-in keyer.
Its computer interfacing is a big plus too.
On the other hand, the speed pot leaves me guessing as to what the actual 
speed is, while the K3 keyer very conveniently displays the speed.
(When the Winkeyer speed is set from N1MM, the speed is clearly displayed on 
the computer.)
Finally, my Winkeyer came from a batch of 500 where the front panel 
silkscreen was off, so that the "SPEED" label is partly hidden behind the 
speed knob.

73,
