[Elecraft] Saying goodbye to the MicroKeyer?

[Joe Subich, W4TV]

You can not do FSK RTTY with the single USB cable - period, end of
story.  You also lose the benefits of the K1EL WinKey keyer - the
K3 keyer may be one of the better ones around but it is not supported
by most logging software and even Windows 10 is prone to stuttering
when generating CW.

73,
