[OKDXA] CW Keying for Contests

[Charette, Douglas]

I use a MicroHam Microkeyer, which has a WK built into it.  Also plug
and play via a usb port, plus does rtty, psk, mike routing and dvk
duties and interfaces with whatever software you are running to log
with.  Setup can be a pain with the different port assignments though as
not every program uses the same terminology for all things.  Overall,
I'm very happy with it.

Alan,

    For years I have been a TRLog DOS user and used the classic parallel

port keying method.  However, I am finally starting to use N1MM and I 
chose the WKUSB keyer kit.  I've had excellent luck and it is plug and 
play from a USB port ... no power supply required.

see:  http://www.k1el.com/  and look up WKUSB
