The internal keyers in my K1, K2 and K3 are fine by me. The reason why many users prefer an external keyer is it is consistent between transceivers, especially if you operate as a guest at other stations. If you stick with one transceiver, and it has a good internal keyer, then I see no reason to use an external one.
73 Dave, G4AON ---------------- I have never in my 34 years as a ham used an external keyer and always used either hand pump (old days) or built in keyer in my radios. But I keep hearing folks using external keyers despite built in capabilities. I am a CW enthusiast and over 95% of my Q's are CW. I do like using memories but find the 4 quick memos in the K3 to be sufficient. I'm not interested in using a keyboard nor display to watch the text. Does anyone recommend an external keyer even with the K3?? I would rather not hook on external boxes unless it will give me something extra. If I do, I understand that Logikey and Microkeyer are great products. ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
