I've got to agree with Randy. While I do use a microHAM MK2R (with WinKey inside) at my contest station for SO2R purposes, my home station setup is a simple Belkin USB/serial adapter between N1MM on an XP Pro box and one K3. I key the DTR/CTS lines in the serial connection of the K3 for CW/PTT and I plug my paddle into the paddle plug of the K3 for manual sending. N1MM sends great CW. I think the only issue is if you try and use the computer's serial or parallel port (if one exists) to plug your paddle into. I forget which pins are needed for that, but it is the same for most contesting programs that allow it. The CW sounds bad with the paddle but fine with the machine sending due to issues previously mentioned. At least that is what I have observed. YMMV

It has been documented by N1MM and many contest publications. It is not a problem with N1MM, it is a problem with WINDOWS. If you change to another version of N1MM >>or a different logging program, you will have the same trouble. The usual solution is to purchase and use a WinKeyer. Virtually all CW contesters
