[Elecraft] K3-S - CW Keying for Contests

For any windows users watching this thread who actually care what their 
morse sounds like in a contest I would suggest the WinKeyUSB3 from K1EL. 
Instead of relying on windows to correctly key the rig with a direct 
serial connection the contest software generates ASCII characters and 
sends the string to the Winkey which keys the rig perfectly.

Windows does what it does best, which is move data around, rather than 
trying to properly time morse code through a serial port.

The Winkey works with all the windows contest software and most regular 
loggers. It also works with CQRLog in Linux and works on the Mac as 
well. I have no idea if the Mac contest software supports it or not.
