The K3 build went nicely, no errors; same for the P3. Now just built Winkey usb smt to go with N1MM+ to add to the station for contesting. The keyer kit itself is working just fine as standalone keyer into K3. However, I'm finding the documentation for integrating N1MM+ the my Dell system

Mike, I am using it with 2 loops, which are mounted at a 90 degree angle with respect to eachother. This allows me to switch direction, which is most pronounced on 160m and medium wave. The loops themselves are square rather than round (as recommended by LZ1AQ) due to mechanical constraints,
