Frank, If you just want to 'buy' something or if you just want to spend your money, then probably go with the Winkey.
However in my opinion, that is really silly since N1MM sends perfect CW via the serial port. Just read the K3 setup notes in the N1MM documents where it tells you how to set up N1MM's Config to key your K3 via either the DTS or the RTS serial line that you have connected between your K3 and your PC. The only additional thing you need to do in your PC is to shut off all Windows generated sounds; doing this will eliminate the random (and seldom) 'CW stutter' generated by your PC. I have been using my PC serial port for better than 10 years and with internal sound generation turned off, I have never heard the 'CW stutter'. 73, Tom - W4BQF -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Frank MacDonell Sent: Sunday, January 29, 2012 6:49 PM To: Elecraft Subject: [Elecraft] Winkey Keyer I am interested in getting into CW contesting and have seen reference to the Winkey Keyer by K1EL. My Rig is an Elecraft K3 and I use N1MM for logging. Is there utility in using a keyer in addition to that provided by Elecraft?
