K3S: CW keying via USB question

Elecraft mailing list
Using only the USB Port cable to the CPU, can CW be transmitted on the  K3S
using N1MM Logger+ or DX-Lab software without the use of a  WinKey?
 
Thanks!
Dick- K9OM

Dick,

This link should get you started. It's written for the kx3 but the k3s
should be very similar-

I’m doing it now with DXLab. I’m using the K3, but there’s no reason the K3s should be any different.

Hope this helps.

Yes, and yes - but N1MM+ and DXLab Suite use different methods to do this.

In DXLab Suite, in the WinWarbler Config window under the CW tab select
"Xcvr Ctrl App" as the Keying method. Commander must be running.
WinWarbler will direct Commander to use radio control commands to send CW.

There is a way to force N1MM+ to use the method used by DXLab suite, by
using user-programmed radio control macro commands, but this is a clumsy
kluge that disables some of N1MM+'s features, as described in the
on-line N1MM+ documentation. With a K3 or K3S (as distinct from a KX3),
there is a better alternative that supports the full range of features
in N1MM+, namely the one that is described in the next paragraph.

In N1MM+, check the CW/Other check box beside the COM port number you
are using for radio control, click on the Set button, and set DTR to CW.
On the K3/K3S, set CONFIG:PTT-KEY to OFF-DTR. This is for VOX/QSK
operation; if you want to have the computer control PTT, in the N1MM+
configuration set RTS to PTT, and on the K3/K3S set CONFIG:PTT-KEY to
RTS-DTR.

DXLab Suite cannot use the method used in N1MM+ because it does CW and
radio control from two different programs that cannot share a single
serial port.
