Lou:

I will definitely keep pounding the brass here, especially since I now have
the Winkeyer for sending better CW with the N3FJP  computer logging
software.

Perhaps this Summer, I may switch my logging software over to N1MM, and I'm
please to have learned that it should work with that software as well.

As I said in my last post, I'm intrigued about learning to use it as a
stand-alone keyer, so that is on my to do project list as well.

Tom,

I'm glad to hear you're pleased with the Winkeyer.  I've been delighted with
K1EL's products for years now.  And most of his newer keyers seem to have
the optically isolated keying relay that will key just about anything.  Keep
pounding brass and 73!  Lou Lou Kolb Voice-over Artist:
