[Elecraft] K3-S - CW Keying for Contests

[john at kk9a.com]

For CW and RTTY FSK keying I use a MicroHAM DigiKeyerII. This has the WinKey
chip and it is easy to install and operate however I do not know if it will
work with a non-Windows computer.

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
