[Elecraft] External keyers with K3

[Dick Dievendorff]

Idiom Press's keyers are superb for use with a paddle. Bob's a good friend,
and I've purchased a couple of the Idiom Press keyers.

If you wish to use keying from a contest logger such as N1MM, WriteLog,
Win-Test and several others, you'll find the K1EL WinKey important because
of its ability to be controlled by a computer program.  The WinKey chip is
incorporated into several microHAM products.

The Elecraft K3 has a fine built-in keyer that can be controlled by a
computer, but it hasn't yet been adopted by many of the contest loggers. You
can use programs such as G4ILO's KComm (http://www.g4ilo.com/kcomm.html) or
the Terminal Page of the K3 Utility to exercise the K3's internal keyer.

Dick, K6KR

(Google) Idiom press. They make the best ones, perfect for CW ops.
