[Elecraft] K4 Remote Control

[Andy Durbin]

"I believe the question is more properly stated as "Does the logging 
program format the string of ASCII characters as a "KY" command for 
Elecraft gear?"

I have come to believe that it does not - it just sends ASCII characters 
in a format acceptable for the WinKeyer."

I spent some time looking into this before I purchased my WinKeyer USB.  Although N1MM+ does not directly support KY mode it is possible to build substitution macros that do produce KY command strings.   I lost interest in that because Kenwood KY mode requires a full KY buffer before it will transmit. This makes the macros unusable for variable length substitutions such as call sign and serial number.  However, I found the K3 does not require a fixed length full buffer to transmit and it is reported to work ok with variable length macro substitutions.   

Still a long way from converting paddle swipes to ASCII.
