Any real reason to spend the $60 or so for the Winkeyer?
Most serious CW contesters use WinKey to take the CW keying load off of the computer. While serial port keying often works just fine, it's also common for other programs running on the logging computer to interfere with serial port keying and make it "choppy." With WinKey, the logging computer sends text to WinKey, solving the problem.
WinKey can also help by switching the paddle and PTT between two radios for SO2R.
