I do pretty much what you want to do: use N1MM+ and paddle/external keyer. I have: paddle connected directly to the K3; QSK selected; VOX selected; PTT/KEY set to off/dtr; and N1MM+ keying through the serial port dtr line. It gives full QSK to hear other stations between characters. 73, Brian

You make a very good case for buying a new K3s. I chose that route, and after all the finagling and swapping, it cost me under $500 to go from a 2007 K3 to a brandie new 2015 K3s. Heckuva deal if you axe me. I must add that the recovered audio is absolutely THE best I've heard from any tran

That's true, Lynn. Nevertheless it's a question of perspective. I already own all the other features of/with the KIO3 so I can only make up my mind on the additional features and decide if it's worth it or not as that is what makes the difference for me. If they would offer a trade programm, i.

Thanks for all the replies. Ah, it all makes sense ... now. I kept thinking that the SWR signal was being sent from the K3S to the P3 via the RS232 port. Wrong. So, guess I have, with the P3 SWR display, something of an antenna analyzer. Nice to be able to have the K3S provide an "adjusted" SWR an

Also note that the KIO3B has all of the original KIO3 analog and digital functionality and HW. Adding the usb sound and USB data hw to that did not increase the end price by over $200. Lastly at ham radio market volumes, which are much lower than most consumer products, the cost to develop and

Hi Olli, Yes, 389.95 is the correct price. This is not a single board. It is a three board set that costs much more than our old KIO3B to manufacture. The board set also now contains a new USB Codec, USB Comm port, Internal USB hub and additional logic to handle routing of data between the U

The WinKey http://k1el.tripod.com/ , in conjunction with N1MM Logger+, does this beautifully. It has separate delay adjustments for paddle-generated and computer-generated CW. You can set the computer delay to zero and the paddle delay to a hang time of 1 to 2 letter spaces, so the paddle del

Once you have enabled VOX, you are stuck with whatever delay it imposes. In effect, the VOX and PTT functions are in a logical OR relationship - if either one of them wants the rig to be in transmit, it will be in transmit. In your current setup you could disable computer PTT control entirely a

Hi Robert, If you are using VOX there should be no difference in the delay between using your paddle and using your PC. It sounds like N1MM is still sending a PTT command over the serial link. You can prove this by changing CONFIG:PTT-KEY to OFF-OFF on your K3. 73, Mike K2MK s57aw wrote > Hi, >
