[Elecraft] K3 Keyer vs. Winkeyer

[W2RU - Bud Hippisley]

I haven't seen anyone mention one feature of the WinKeyer  -- a feature which happens to be what originally attracted me to it in the first place:  non-iambic modes!  In particular, Ultimatic.  Of course, if you use a single-lever paddle, or if you never employ paddle-sent code, this won't matter to you, but I prefer dual-lever paddles, and I make far fewer mistakes with Ultimatic mode than either of the common iambic ones.  Combine that with the near seamless relationship between the WinKeyer Host Mode and good general purpose or contest logging software on a PC or Mac, and I can't imagine doing without it.  I love my K3, and I'd love to eliminate one more accessory box, but not at the expense of the WinKeyer's features.
