FWIW, I've been using N1MM Logger keying via the serial port (and earlier
via parallel port) since 'day 1' of Logger on many different PCs, WIN98 thru
Vista, 'real' serial ports and USB-to-serial ports, on different YaeComWood
rigs, a K2 and now my K3. It works just fine, always has.
The setup via the K3 is easiest of all since it does not require any
hand-made cable or level convertor/keying switch, just a quality standard
serial cable. I'm not saying anything against the WinKeyer, never tried it,
never needed it.

Fred, you can get the K3 to key, but the timing available in Windows does
not allow good CW to be produced. The Workaround is to purchase a
WinKeyer USB from K1EL and insert it between the Computer USB port and the
Key jack on the K3. This is a function of Windows, not N1MM or the K3.
You can not get away from the problem by using different software or a
different transceiver. The WinKeyer USB has its own microprocessor to
generate the code and accepts the message to be sent in ASCII. The
WinKeyer controls the timing. It is not expensive and is very small. Get
particulars from www.k1el.com.

Can I key my K3 on CW down the serial port line from a
logging program?
I'm trying to get N1MM set up on my laptop, and
haven't figured out
the CW keying options. N1MM follows the radio just fine so
that part is
working. Off-reflector answers welcome.
