Pete, YouCAN share the CAT connection from the K3S USB via a program called VSPE. Works very well. Give me a call tomorrow to discuss.

I should have said that I have (almost) all the functionality that I had before for the features that I use. At this point, I'm trying to simplify things for the next couple of months, get things working reliably, then introduce an SDRPlay, Skimmer, and Win4K3 after Dayton. I do miss the Winkeyer's speed control knob, but I can get used to just using N1MM PageUp/Dn keyboard commands or the K3s's front panel control knob. I had a great run with the MK and MK-II over the years and yeah, there are a few things I'll miss, for sure, but the reduced complexity--both physical and software/PC related, and reduced potential for RF ingress are substantial positives as well. - pjd -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] <[email protected]> On Behalf Of Joe Subich, W4TV Sent: Thursday, March 21, 2019 3:52 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [Elecraft] Sending AFSK RTTY--FIXED On 2019-03-21 1:52 PM, Peter Dougherty wrote: > Again, a big thank you to everybody who lent a hand to this.

Yes, the K3/KIO3B or K3S USB Audio CODEC behaves exactly like the K3 with analog Line In/Line Out. The USB Audio CODEC is essentially "grafted on" to the Line In/Line Out. In fact "Speaker (USB AUDIO CODEC)" is connected in parallel with the analog Line Out jack. Please refer to the K3S Owners Manual and the K3S schematic package on-line. > I seem to have all the functionality I had previously with the > MicroKeyer-II in line Not by a long shot ... you no longer have a hardware based FSK, a K1EL WinKey keyer, support for multiple CAT connections (for syncing an external SDR panadapter), the ability to mute the microphone when playing an SSB voice file, access to dedicated CI-V and/or SteppIR control channel, etc. While you may not have used all those features you certainly do not have the same functionality as you had with the microKEYER II. 73, ...
