Any good/clear "How To" docs on adding the N1MM+ software for Winkey usb smt to my k3+p3 station for windows 7?

[Phil Anderson]

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 7.0 and keyer with the K3/P3 a bit much. Here I mean integrating
the N1MM+ software with the above. I'd describe the docs as "circular."
I'm going in circles. I think I have the hardware hooked up right; that
is, the Dell recognizes the serial ports, the USB and COM. What's of
question is the setup/config of the software for SO2V.

73! and am age 73, hi, W0XI

The N1MM+ install is pretty straightforward, and usually goes pretty
easily. You must first do the basic install, then reboot and install the
latest version.

When you start N1MM+, it will ask for your call, name, and other vital
info. Once that's done, go to Config Tab, select the top option, and
plug in the info for what serial port your rig is on. If you're using a
USB to serial converter, you'll have to use Control Panel to figure out
what serial port it is on. You will also need to know what serial port
the WinKey has been assigned to.

Go to this link, click on Documents, then study Getting Started.

As with any serial control, make sure that the computer and the radio
are set to the same Baud Rate (Long Push Menu on the K3, Configure for
the port in N1MM+). 38400 is the best choice.

N1MM+ is very user friendly, very well written. Join the email reflector
for excellent support.
