[Elecraft] K3 choppy CW

[Andrew Faber]

Julius,
  Though we're now drifting off topic from Elecraft, WinKey USB works fine 
on my Vista laptop keying my K3. It also has the advantage of not tying up 
any serial ports, since it runs off the USB port (the driver creates a 
"virtual" serial port).  You can also use it for PTT, thus avoiding using 
another serial port for that function.
