I don't know anything about Wintest but I'm using K1EL's Winkeyer USB with
N1MM.

The advantage of this keyer versus computer keying of the K3 directly is:

1.  CW timing is perfect...no choppiness.
2.  Keying can be interrupted immediately with either ESC on the keyboard or
by touching the paddles.

Cables needed are:

USB cable from computer to Winkeyer (supplied with Winkeyer).
KEY1 cable from Winkeyer to K3 KEY IN (standard dual phono).
PTT1 cable from Winkeyer to K3 PTT IN (standard dual phono).
KEY OUT from K3 to amplifier (standard dual phono).

Winkeyer can be used either stand alone (with internal memories) or with
computer (with N1MM memories).  It can also be used with two rigs in N1MM
SO2R mode.
