[Elecraft] Field Day

[Nr4c]

Jim. 

The monitor does not control anything, so it can be powered anyway you want.  But if you push buttons on the Winkeyer and it’s not connected to the computer then you are ok. But if you let n1mm do the keying ( Winkeyer or not) then the computer must be on battrry or some form of emergency power.
