I just made up a small box with 6 jacks on it, for 6 different keys,
keyers or whatever,
all that is needed are some cheap diodes to "steer" the keyer in use.
Diodes block
whatever is being done from going back down the line to another
device. Another
jack goes to a cable to the K3.
No switches to throw, nothing to worry about. Think I used 1n4007 or
some such
cheap diode. Been using the same box on many radios for the past 20 years
with no problems.

Currently I manually switch between PC keying via a Microham Winkeyer
which keys via N1MM and a straight key by unplugging and re-plugging
in the back of the radio. I have been reluctant to simply parallel
the two by means of a Y cable for fear that sending with the straight
key would place a direct short across the output of the winkeyer and
wreak havoc on my winkeyer. Am I being unduly concerned?? Or is
there enough isolation built into the Winkeyer so that all will be
well?? If I could use a Y cable I would have the PC, the paddle, and
the straight key all available all the time which would be great.
Thanks in advance to all who respond.
