This tab provides the configuration for the internal, WinKey based, CW keyer. A complete WinKey manual
can be downloaded from: HTTP://k1el.tripod.com/docfiles.html. Thanks to Steve Elliott, K1EL for this great
product.
WinKey can be controlled by a logging program or operate in stand alone mode controlled by Router.
Router controls the speed range, Paddle mode and other timing characteristics of Winkey. When an
application opens WinKey, all buffer handling and speed changes are strictly under application control.
When the port is closed, the WinKey operating parameters can be changed from this tab. Every change is
applied immediately.
The WinKey CW output (pin 3) is wired in parallel with the serial CW output from MK.
The WinKey PTT output (pin 5) is connected by a jumper (SO1R/SO2R) to PTT1 or pin 6 of the REMOTE
jack.
