I've had several off-list responses about this telling me pretty much the same thing:
The "KY" command that sends text to the internal keyer has been looked at and deemed insufficient to support the demands of high performance contest software. Too much latency on the serial bus, no way to sync up with message completion, no way to edit messages once they've gone down the bus. (Having dealt with a few RS232 buses in my day, I agree they can be a major pain in the anatomy when you need to operate a device in a fast, deterministic, reliable way.) Well, I don't mind buying an accessory if it improves performance but dang! I'd like to have all that hardware in one box! 73 & thanks for all the answers, Carl WS7L No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG.
