Re: winkeyer

Yup, I am using a WinKeyer USB with a K3S and ACOM 1500.

The WinKeyer is driven by N1MM+ and by paddles. I run the K3S in QSK mode. The K3S controls the amp key line. Works great; no problems whatsoever.

Do you have specific questions?

I do not have a K3 but if you decide to use the WinKeyer USB let me know I have a basically brand new one I would make you a great deal on.

I used it a bit and it worked great but I just do not have a use for it any longer.

Thanks

I use the Winkeyer USB with the K3 and N3FJP software. it works very well. 73, John W2XS

It sure would be awesome if a user could put the internal K3s keyer into a
Winkeyer emulation mode. The majority of logging software supports K1EL's
command set, but not all support the Elecraft command set.

Re: winkeyer

Most (/all) software will expect to talk to the WinKeyer on a separate
serial port from the rig, so for that to use useful, you'd have to
come up with some way to combine the traffic from/to two virtual
serial ports into one real one. It's probably doable in software, but
maybe non-trivial....

Re: winkeyer

In reply to this post by Iain MacDonnell - N6ML-2

I don't think the suggestion is to emulate a WinKeyer to contesting
software, but rather for the internal keyer to have the same logic as
WinKeyer when you send with a paddle and for the amp keying line to
behave like the WinKeyer when sending either with the paddle, or from
the computer via the straight key jack or the DTR line.

Right, Frank?

Hi,

I am using the Winkeyer USB since I bought my K3S last year. Really enjoy it and well supported my all major softwares.

Hi Jim,

I've never had a problem with external computer keying through the
K3 serial port, it works fine in K3 CW PTT mode.

My recommendation is to:
- remove the unwanted VOX delay applied to the end of the PTT
in VOX mode

- Eliminate the unwanted QSK behavior of the internal keyer when
the K3 is in CW PTT mode. Ideally the improved K3 behavior
should be just the very well designed K1EL WinKeyer that so
many of us are using because the K3 internal keyer is so bad.
