Hi David, Generating cw directly from a (Windoze..?) pc is usually bad news. Windows always has priority and will interrupt cw keying when it needs to do something else; the result can be awful cw which can be embarrassing in a contest. Winkey takes the data from the pc as ascii (I think..) and generates it's own perfectly timed characters independantly of the computer with which to key the radio. A Microham keyer uses Winkey which also accepts paddle input - this means that the cw sent from your pc (eg from N1MM) will always be at the same speed and setup as that sent from the paddles, one speed knob controls both. I tend to use my Microham cw keyer all the time but admit the keyer in the K3 is excellent. 73, Stewart GW0ETF (K3 145) -- View this message in context: http://n2.nabble.com/K3-Keying-tp841765p841970.html Sent from the Elecraft mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
