[Elecraft] Subject: KX3 CW from computer

[Edward R. Cole]

Dave,

OK, well I guess there are many different types of sw that generate 
CW.  The program I use allows you to write scripts for the Function 
Keys on a computer or to merely type from the keyboard real-time.  It 
was written to support CW on eme so it has built in TR programmable 
delay times and separate control of PTT and KEY, since one does not 
want to hot switch 1kW at 1296 MHz!

So I see the opinions being given coming from total different 
perspectives (some are using HF loggers, some contesting sw, some HRD 
or other radio sw, some are using eme digital sw.  Each is working a 
little differently so a solution that fits all may not exist.

"Instant change over to the paddle then the keyboard is not possible, 
but why would one do that?"


The need to quickly jump in with the paddle happens often enough in
contesting to make that a pretty important capability.  Most contest
loggers have  a limited number of CW macros available and they won't
cover everything.  Temporarily switching to keyboard CW is possible but
for me at least is clumsier than just moving my hand to the paddle.
