[Elecraft] why the K3 is my favorite rig

[Carl Clawson]

And while we're on the wish-list for a follow-on rig, let's add: A
contest-grade keyer.

My biggest disappointment with the K3 is a built-in keyer that I can't use
with contest software. (It speaks very well for the radio that this rather
minor issue is my biggest one.)

This left me with the alternatives of serial port keying or an external
keyer. Serial port keying I find undesirable for reasons that have already
been hashed out several times on the reflector. So I bought an external
keyer.

Hint to Elecraft: It's already been done. Don't reinvent it. Drop a Winkey
chip in the box and be done with it.
