[Elecraft] Connecting PC to K3S

[weaverwf at usermail.com]

Hi Mike,

I use the winkeyer for a logging program interface (N3FJP, N1MM). The winkeyer output goes to the straight key jack on the K3S. The paddle plugs into the paddle jack on the rig. Otherwise it’s just one USB cable K3S to computer and you’re all set.
