[Elecraft] K3 - WinkeyUSB Keying Issue

[Poul Erik Karlshøj (PKA)]

Hi David
If you mean how to set-up the Winkey Server/Client there is a very well written document available on K1EL website:
http://k1el.tripod.com/WKremote.html
It is indeed very easy and simple to set up if you follow that document. It did not take me many minutes before I had adjusted to operating RC CW that way: you have a small latency from the WK when using two linked WKs. But it is really not a problem in my view. I have used CW for over 50 years. For very fast QSK QSOs, though,  I think you would not like it. For standard bk-type QSOs its indeed useable - even when through an internet connection with 200 msec ping-time.

If you mean RC in general, there are many ways to do it. My low-cost solution is just one.
Anyone want to know more contact me off-list.

What an astonishing idea!  I have hesitated to make a remote station because of the latency problem, but this will encourage me to look further.  Do you have a diagram of your set-up you could share?
