[Elecraft] winkeyer

[donovanf at starpower.net]

Hi Jim, 



I've never had a problem with external computer keying through the 
K3 serial port, it works fine in K3 CW PTT mode. 


My recommendation is to: 
- remove the unwanted VOX delay applied to the end of the PTT 
in VOX mode 


- Eliminate the unwanted QSK behavior of the internal keyer when 
the K3 is in CW PTT mode. Ideally the improved K3 behavior 
should be just the very well designed K1EL WinKeyer that so 
many of us are using because the K3 internal keyer is so bad.

I don't think the suggestion is to emulate a WinKeyer to contesting 
software, but rather for the internal keyer to have the same logic as 
WinKeyer when you send with a paddle and for the amp keying line to 
behave like the WinKeyer when sending either with the paddle, or from 
the computer via the straight key jack or the DTR line. 

Right, Frank?
