[Elecraft] When is mode A not mode A?

[Kevin Stover]

I suggested this when the K3 was introduced.
I had just started using the Winkey USB with my K2/100 and loved it.
I still use it. It has Bug, Ultimatic, Curtis A and B emulation.

Maybe they'd save a little DSP code space by offloading CW generation to 
the K1EL product.

There is a reason why a lot of contesters use K1EL products, every 
single piece of contesting and shack management software incorporates 
support for the product, and most every single digital mode interface on 
the market incorporates a K1EL chip in the box to generate CW.

Why reinvent the wheel?
