[Elecraft] Navigator and K3

[Don Wines]

I've been using the Navigator with the K3 for a couple of years now and am 
totally satisfied with it (well almost, see below)! I bought the interface 
cable from US Interface (which I recommend) and it works great. All the K3 
FW upgrades go straight thru with no problem.

If you already have the Navigator you know that the setup takes somewhat of 
an effort to get all the virtual com ports set up. But once that's done is 
runs like a champ.

Here is the "almost": I run primarily CW and the built in Winkeyer works OK 
but there is one problem I have run into. I can't seem to get full QSK to 
work with the Navigator/Winkeyer/K3. There is always a slight break-in delay 
even with full QSK set on the K3. It's not usually a problem with normal 
operation but does effect contesting or DX chasing. I haven't tried to track 
down a fix for this thru the Navigator group. I usually just switch to the 
K3 keyer if I really need the QSK.

I am sending a copy of this reply to the Navigator group so maybe Clint or 
someone over there can shed some light on the problem.

Hope this helps,

Don,
