Tim,
If your keying speed is at 20 WPM or less you can likely get by without
the Winkeyer, but Windows does not allow the logger application to have
direct control of the serial port, so there will be some timing
differences in the keying. At slower speeds it may not be noticeable,
but as
Can N1MM or other logging program be set up to use my computer's one RS232
port to log using the vfo freq and to generate and send cw, or do I need a
separate winkeyer USB box?
Tim,
I have used N1MM with only my direct single interface between the K3 and my
laptop since last August and operated
operating system.
Good luck and 73,

Maybe I'm just lucky (although other data indicates otherwise!), but I
operate N1MM in contests with my N1MM keyer speed set to 25-30 wpm (usually
28 wpm) and have never detected a problem with it. I'm running Windows 7
(64-bit) on a fairly new CPU, and that probably has a lot to do with it.
73,
My main shack computer is an 8-year-old Pentium 4 running Windows XP.
At various times, I have run serial port and parallel port CW, as well
as Winkey. I never had any difficulty with CW quality with any keying
method and N1MM Logger.
I have settled on Winkey, for two reasons. First, a

Yeah, same with MixW. I have used it for years to key CW at many

I have good results with n1mm too, with an older xp computer. Difficulties may
be caused by internet activity (i don't use cluster in contests).

A lot depends upon your computer and what other apps you are running on
it. I have a five year old quad core Intel machine running Windows XP
and during contests both N1MM and CW Skimmer are often active. I
typically run CW speeds of 28 or 30 wpm and might get one or two minor
stutters
I have a winkeyer USB but still just use N1MM for keying. I have not had
any problems with it. I actually prefer the feel of the K3's built-in
keyer (for sending by hand), but since sending CW via CAT commands is not
supported by N1MM, the winkeyer is the only approach that allows you to
adjust
Back in my NA days (under DOS), I used the serial and then the printer port
to key the radio via a simple transistor interface.
When I switched to N1MM (under XP), I used a microHAM interface to avoid
the stuttering, and to exchange info (frequency, etc.) with the radio, as
well as send perfect CW
Tim,
Winkeyer is a great piece of equipment and was needed for the K2 after some
changes to N1MM years back, due to timing issues.
For the K3, you do not need Winkeyer at all, and we're talking up to 40
WPM. You do need two ports. You can use the LPT port or USB to Serial
adapter from your
I only use one port and the single interface (USB to Serial) from N1MM
generates the CW and PTT. You do not need any kind of built or external
keying interface to key the K3. It's very simple and straight-forward.

For the K3
I stand corrected Mitch. You are right, it can be done straight through the
Serial (or USB to Serial) port. For some reason or another I was thinking of
FSK...
No hiccups that I've noticed with three different computers older to newer,
all win based...
Thanks Mitch!

Another good document, easy to follow, and worth having (unless you
completely space and forget about it)!
Thanks for putting it together Fred... and GL in ARRL DX! Maybe the prop
gods will be kinder.
Cheers,
