Winkeyers have been excellent upgrades to my multi-multi stations. All of my stations now use Winkeyers and ten of them now use K3 transceivers.
I especially like the PTT capability when sending with a paddle. No more need to fiddle with VOX settings for CW operation. 73 Frank W3LPL ----- Original Message ----- From: "iain macdonnell - N6ML" <a...@dseven.org> To: "Bill DeVore" <maxr...@gmail.com> Cc: "Elecraft Reflector" <elecraft@mailman.qth.net> Sent: Thursday, February 22, 2018 5:16:58 AM Subject: Re: [Elecraft] K3S and Winkeyer On Wed, Feb 21, 2018 at 5:52 PM, Bill DeVore <maxr...@gmail.com> wrote: > I’d like to start contesting and plan on using N1MM with my K3S.

This works fine for some, but others have issues with timing (it's dependent on Windows and the COM port operating smoothly). The WinKeyer is very well regarded amongst contesters, and will generally provide the most dependable operation. 73, ~iain / N6ML ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to donov...@starpower.net ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to arch...@mail-archive.com
