[Elecraft] Winkey Keyer

[Tommy Alderman]

Frank,

If you just want to 'buy' something or if you just want to spend your money,
then probably go with the Winkey. 

However in my opinion, that is really silly since N1MM sends perfect CW via
the serial port. Just read the K3 setup notes in the N1MM documents where it
tells you how to set up N1MM's Config to key your K3 via either the DTS or
the RTS serial line that you have connected between your K3 and your PC. The
only additional thing you need to do in your PC is to shut off all Windows
generated sounds; doing this will eliminate the random (and seldom) 'CW
stutter' generated by your PC. I have been using my PC serial port for
better than 10 years and with internal sound generation turned off, I have
never heard the 'CW stutter'.

73,
Tom - W4BQF

I am interested in getting into CW contesting and have seen reference to
the Winkey Keyer by K1EL. My Rig is an Elecraft K3 and I use N1MM for
logging. Is there utility in using a keyer in addition to that provided by
Elecraft? Thanks in advance.
