Hi Bill, I'd say it just comes down to personal preference. I'm primarily a contester and dxer.
I sometimes use the builtin keyers in the K3 and the Icom IC-7800. However, I do like and have several Winkeyers. They interface easily in N1MM+ on their own serial port. The speed can be controlled either from the Winkeyer speed pot or from the N1MM+ program with a mouse to change the speed. I have the standalone Winkeyer USB, also 2 of my Rig Expert interfaces have builtin Winkeyers. To me I like the stability and accuracy of the Winkeyer. It's easy to adjust the speed up or down 2wpm at a time. So boils down to personal preference and I have nothing bad to say about the builtin keyers. 73 Darrell AB2E ________________________________ From: [email protected] <[email protected]> on behalf of Bill DeVore <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, February 21, 2018 8:52 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [Elecraft] K3S and Winkeyer I’d like to start contesting and plan on using N1MM with my K3S. Is there any advantage on adding a Winkeyer to the mix?
