This is an interesting thread. I've gone the other way. I used a
WB4VVF Accu-Keyer for a long time. After an overly-long layoff from
HF, I started using the K2's keyer when I got my K2 (or at least
tried). I just could not get used to the timing of the built-in
keyer, finally deciding that my paddle was defective. When the YF
(KB4TGE) gave me a K1EL USB keyer for Christmas last year things
changed. The K1EL keyer feels right, and has rejuvenated my use of CW.
As you guys note, it is whatever you are used to...

Steve -
Only had my Winkey for 2 days, but am after the same goal. I'll
use the Winkey for both my K2 and my Ten Tec Omni VI (until my K3
arrives in April).
I've gotten close by making the ratio 45 and the weight 60. I
messed with Sample, but ended up leaving it at 50. I can tell when
the timing is off what I'm used to, when 'R' or 'K' don't complete
the last element and come out as 'A' and 'N'.
You might give that a try and let me know off list how it works for
you. If we work together we should improve our odds :-)

The internal keyer in my K2 seems to have a different
'weighting' (or something) compared to my new K1EL Winkeyer.
I have been playing with the settings on the latter to try and
make these two devices 'sound' the same. Frankly, after 8+ years,
I've grown to like the K2's rhythm in this sense, but don't really
care much for the UI of the built-in keyer when operating
'fixed.' And, I needed PC control from several applications,
anyway. So I'm converting to the external gizmo.
So far, the subtleties of the set-up have eluded me. Anyone else
do this yet, successfully? Or am I just being very, um, picky?
