For those who need or want a CW Keyboard, I would recommend K1EL. www.k1el.com CW keyboards are great, particularly in situations where you're very tired and prone to less than perfect sending by other methods... straight key in my case. And if you want to run RTTY without a computer, but with a keyboard, his K40 keyer (out of stock right now) will act as an keyboard to FSK adapter. I've done it with my old IC-756Pro, as a fun thing to do, once. OTOH, I'm sure somewhere there's microprocessor code for a CW keyboard that could be modified to produce paddle outputs i.e. a closure for dit, and a different one for dah. When plugged into the paddle input on the K3, that would give you no-computer keyboard operation for CW, RTTY and PSK, using the built-in text decode for reception, if you can't copy all those modes by ear 8-}. I've built a bunch of WKUSB's for N8S and for my YU friends, too. 73, doug ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
