I do a lot of contesting, mostly CW. If you are using a REASONABLE computer, not a 10 year old dog only fit for DOS, N1MM and Writelog key VERY well from a real serial port. My shack computer is a 5 year old T22 Thinkpad with 512MB and W2K Pro. When I'm contesting, I have N1MM, two or three browsers, VE7CC, Zone Alarm, DXView, DXKeeper, and Quattro Pro running. Not a sign of a glitch. Same with WriteLog, which I used for years before switching to N1MM a year ago. When I first started running N1MM, I DID have a problem with stuttering CW AND SSB playback. I traced the cause to having told N1MM to record everything. Turned off that switch (somewhere in the menus) and everything was fine. >The solution in to use the WinKey keyer.
