Fred, you can get the K3 to key, but the timing available in Windows does not allow good CW to be produced. The Workaround is to purchase a WinKeyer USB from K1EL and insert it between the Computer USB port and the Key jack on the K3. This is a function of Windows, not N1MM or the K3. You can not get away from the problem by using different software or a different transceiver. The WinKeyer USB has its own microprocessor to generate the code and accepts the message to be sent in ASCII. The WinKeyer controls the timing. It is not expensive and is very small. Get particulars from www.k1el.com.
