Group, I am sorry to harp on this, but it seems someone thought I was not thinking I could key the K3 directly when using N1MM. Of course one could do that. But I was assuming that running through N1MM would give me a specific benefit: Not to have to enter callsigns and exchange info twice (once to transmit, once to log). To me it seems obvious that any contest logging program should do this; after e.g. a callsign has been entered through the keyboard, there is no ambiguity about it, and the program should transmit it as well as log it. Now N1MM claims to be integrated with WinKeyer, so my expectation is that I should be able to do the same using the paddles to enter the callsign. Admittedly, that involves some CW decoding in software, but if I select the type of data item by selecting an input field by mouse on the screen, the program should have a leg up for a good guess, which I could verify by one glance, and the exchange information would probably be generated automatically anyway.
Before I put more time into this, would somebody familiar with N1MM please let me know if any of my expectations are unrealistic.
