[Elecraft] K3 Keyer vs. Winkeyer

[Rick Prather]

Joel,

If you select the K3 keyer in the CW preferences in RUMlog you will be able to play your own memories or you can use the K3 built in memories if you use the K3 control panel.

I have the Winkeyer USB here and have used it many times with RUMlog and also with RUMped for contests but I have found that on the Mac I don't see stutters or interruptions so have put it away and just use the K3 onboard setting in either program.

BTW, you can also use the F keys to send the programmed memories with either keyer.

GL,

Currently, I have it set to the K3, but it only plays the CW memories I have in the K3 not in RUMlog.  I don't contest that much, but I think I'd like to - some.  I will not take it to the field - I have the KX3 for that.
