My main shack computer is an 8-year-old Pentium 4 running Windows XP. At various times, I have run serial port and parallel port CW, as well as Winkey. I never had any difficulty with CW quality with any keying method and N1MM Logger.
I have settled on Winkey, for two reasons. First, a single keyer gives me both manual keying (for DXing and ragchewing) and flawless CW for use with N1MM Logger. Second, using the Winkey allows me to interrupt a "canned" message being sent with a single dit or an interjection from the paddle, seamlessly. 73, Pete N4ZR The World Contest Station Database, updated daily at www.conteststations.com The Reverse Beacon Network at http://reversebeacon.net, blog at reversebeacon.blogspot.com, spots at telnet.reversebeacon.net, port 7000 and arcluster.reversebeacon.net, port 7000 On 2/14/2012 9:09 AM, WD0ECO wrote: > Can N1MM or other logging program be set up to use my computer's one RS232 > port to log using the vfo freq and to generate and send cw, or do I need a > separate winkeyer USB box? > > > Tim, > > I have used N1MM with only my direct single interface between the K3 and my > laptop since last August and operated in many CW contests without ANY > issues.
