Yes, I thought that is probably the way to go, but it does mean I'd have to carry the keyer around and I liked the idea of having the keyer in the K3 (not to mention that I hope to use a KX1 someday). Thanks for confirmation of that being the way to go.
Ideally, elecraft will implement Ultimatic in the K3 - soon ?

Built in keyers change from rig to rig, so buy a key you like and a keyer you like and just move it from rig to rig. There are fewer menus to learn and fewer adjustments. Not to mention fewer cw errors sent.

I have the Kent single level paddle and a Super CMOS III keyer that are my favorite combination. I have tried many others, but this is my favorite setup. My first keyer was a Accu-keyer I built from a handbook article. I sold it for something new and regretted it. I tried many keys and keyers over the years and found that simple was best.

It came down to two paddles for me. The Vibroplex and the Kent and the Kent won because it did not require the hand to be raised above the table surface. Both are good paddles, but that made the difference for me.

I made a Plexiglas dust cover for the Kent and then built my Super CMOS III keyer in an enclosure that would sit on top of the dust cover.
