Julius, Though we're now drifting off topic from Elecraft, WinKey USB works fine on my Vista laptop keying my K3. It also has the advantage of not tying up any serial ports, since it runs off the USB port (the driver creates a "virtual" serial port). You can also use it for PTT, thus avoiding using another serial port for that function. 73,andy, ae6y ----- Original Message ----- From: "Erik N Basilier" <[email protected]> To: "Julius Fazekas n2wn" <[email protected]>; <[email protected]> Sent: Thursday, February 26, 2009 11:47 AM Subject: Re: [Elecraft] K3 choppy CW
