Hmmm ... I'm a 99% CW operator and I find the K3's built-in keyer to be excellent, free of misfires and glitches for the most part. I'd use one of my fine external keyers if there was a need, but there's not.
Over the years I've used the Accu-Keyer, the AEA Contester, and the Super CMOS II, all fine keyers, and I find the K3's keyer to have a very similar feel. I will say that I have had the K3's keyer misfire or hesitate while the K3 was being bombarded with serial interchanges from HRD and/or N1MM. This surprised me because I thought the keyer would have a very high priority. But it hasn't happened in many months and may have been a glitch since eliminated in either the K3 or the external software I was using. 73- Nick, WA5BDU On 9/20/2010 10:01 AM, Wes Stewart wrote: > Nevertheless, with my TS-870 and its built-in Accukeyer I send nearly > flawless CW.
