Keying via DTR or RTS will work with the simple transistor circuit, but
it is subject to timing problems created by the operating system. There
is no way for an application to directly control a port, so the
application has to pass the request to the operating system and then the
operating system will control the port when it deems appropriate. That
may be OK at slow CW speeds, but the timing becomes more critical at
higher speeds. Enter the WinKeyer to solve that problem.
