One thing that hasn't been mentioned so far is that the WinKeyer has
a separate PTT out that has a programmable delay before initiating
the CW.
Unfortunately, that delay only works on CW - there is still no solution
for SSB VOX or data modes like RTTY where the rig starts to make RF as
soon as PTT is closed.
The solution is still to update the amplifier with fast relays like
the article by W8ZR.

This will allow the needed delay without affect the sent CW in any way.
Use one here, works well.
Used the scope to measure the actual settling time of the open frame
relays (about 30 mS is needed to full settle). Measured the K2/K3 delay
then added enough with the WinKeyer to insure no hot switching.

Agreed. With a K3 you don't need any special sequencing -- just
replace the relay with a reed relay for input and a vacuum relay for
output (or two vacuum relays). It is much more pleasant even if you
don't use QSK or VOX.
