[Elecraft] K3-S - CW Keying for Contests

[a45wg]

Fellow Hams,
		     I received my K3-S a few weeks ago - and I have been marvelling at it’s features. I still am awaiting the arrival of a rotator - and them I will hoist some Yagi’s up… but in the meantime - I am enjoying the awesome RX/TX on this radio….

	I used to be quite an active contest station (alas no 4x4x4 here) - on CW/SSB and Occasionally RTTY - so please may I ask for some steerage/advice regarding the best way to connect a K3-S to a PC so I can automate some of the repetition of contest work …. I fully understand and accept "DE TEST” is not everyone’s cup of tea… But I enjoy it at times.

	It appears that WinKeyer is popular - will that suffice just for CW ? How about Data Modes ??

	I would prefer not to have 3 or 4 options - but too keep things simple. In the “old days” I used to use a SignaLink - which I found flexible and worthwhile.


	OS for PC: 	
			Linux or Mac - NOT Windows

	Many thanks for taking the time to read this


	Regards
