I always used the internal keyer in my Elecraft rigs. I recently built the Winkey USB keyer from K1EL and use it with n1mm logger for contest operations. It's a pretty good standalone keyer as well. Since the K3 has provisions for both a paddle and straight key I use a Bencher paddle to the K3 and a Begali paddle to the Winkeyer which plugs into the straight key jack on the K3. Dan N0TK

I have never in my 34 years as a ham used an external keyer and always used either hand pump (old days) or built in keyer in my radios. But I keep hearing folks using external keyers despite built in capabilities. I am a CW enthusiast and over 95% of my Q's are CW. I do like using memories but find the 4 quick memos in the K3 to be sufficient. I'm not interested in using a keyboard nor display to watch the text. Does anyone recommend an external keyer even with the K3?? I would rather not hook on external boxes unless it will give me something extra. If I do, I understand that Logikey and Microkeyer are great products. -- View this message in context: http://n2.nabble.com/External-keyers-with-K3---recommended--tp2403830p2403830.html Sent from the Elecraft mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
