Currently I manually switch between PC keying via a Microham Winkeyer
which keys via N1MM and a straight key by unplugging and re-plugging in
the back of the radio. I have been reluctant to simply parallel the two
by means of a Y cable for fear that sending with the straight key would
place a direct short across the output of the winkeyer and wreak havoc
on my winkeyer. Am I being unduly concerned?? Or is there enough
isolation built into the Winkeyer so that all will be well?? If I
could use a Y cable I would have the PC, the paddle, and the straight
key all available all the time which would be great. Thanks in advance
to all who respond.
