Pete will be able to share the CAT connection when he gets Win4K3Suite.

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.

Yes, you're right, and I will miss the ability to have multiple CAT
connections...that's a biggie and the ability to mute the mic on .wav playback
as well. 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.

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.

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.

Hi all,
Just a quick note to thank everybody here for their suggestions and help.
There were some things in the K3s that needed to be changed, but that
still left some serious issues that were definitely related to DX Labs
WinWarbler.
DX Labs works by storing app settings in the registry, and the
registry settings for all related apps are stored in a “workspace.”
Somehow the settings for WinWarbler had gotten corrupted. On a whim, I
restored an old known-good workspace, changed the parameters to the
new hardware configuration and after a couple of bumpy starts, everything
worked fine.
I saved a new workspace with these settings, and then I went back to
the original profile, and it remained screwed up. Once again I shut
everything down, loaded the new profile that I’d just created and it’s
all good. The bad profile has now been deleted off the system and all
is once again right.
I would definitely like to thank Barry, K3NDM for helping me out
one-on-one, ironing out the needed K3s settings, and getting RTTY
working in FLDIGI and N1MM (proving this was a DX Labs problem).
FOUR DAYS to get this done, but at least now, with very limited
testing, I seem to have all the functionality I had previously with
the MicroKeyer-II in line—but without the extra cabling, risk of RF
ingress, and multiple virtual COM ports.
Again, a big thank you to everybody who lent a hand to this. One final
question, does the USB audio connection from the K3s separate out the
main and sub receiver audio in the same manner as using a physical
audio breakout cable two and 3.5mm plugs? I would like to have a
second instance of MMTTY set up to receive the sub RX audio, with the
primary using only the main VFO. I used to be able to accomplish this
using left- and right-channels in the MMTTY setup, but that doesn’t
seem to work using USB. Not a major issue now that FT8 Dxpedition Mode
seems to be all the rage, but I would still like to have this functionality if
possible.
