Okay, so is it really time to upgrade my from my C64? Just kidding. I meant to mention that the keying issue I noted was during a contest in October and/or November using my work laptop, which is a P4-1000 to key my "big" rig. The test last night was with my desktop which was running a P3-550, and I did have lots of other things running in the background. But the results were the same. Maybe I'll try another keying program and see what it does if I have time tonight. Both compukers running W2kPro.
Does anyone know what rigs currently support the KY keying? I would bet that if the S/W developers know how many rigs would benefit from the support rather than "Hey, I'd like it if you did this to support a feature in my K2". I probably could list other folk that have some of those new Kenwoods (oops, sorry, I shouldn't actually admit that I know people that don't use Elecraft here, should I). Okay, so far nobody has mentioned any logging programs that use the new KY feature. Anyone? Mark, NK8Q >Guys, Jim is correct.
