[Elecraft] Keyers

[Jed Petrovich]

Hello:

I'd also put my vote in for WinKeyUSB. I purchased it primarily for Field
Day and N1MM last year. It was supposed to be a backup, but we ended up
using it the entire time.

The kit was easy to put together and has worked very well for me for nearly
a year. The price is right and it interfaces easily with N1MM. All you need
to set is a couple of N1MM check boxes. Yes, there are more options, but we
didn't seem to need them.
