Here is a reason I would like a separate keyer. Maybe it
is due to my aging 486-33, but when the log begins to get fairly large,
the SAVELOG function interrupts everything for several seconds (~10 seconds
for a 1600 QSO log I just tried). I quit using AUTOSAVE because I forget
I'm using it and then the computer locks me out until it finishes saving.
If it's 01:59:59, and K1** comes on your frequency, he'll probably claim
it by the time your computer lets you send again! :-)) At the very least,
it really interrupts my rhythm when I've got a good run going.
73, Bill W4ZV
P.S. If this is unique to my computer and otherwise not a problem, I
would love to know that!
