Phil,
I bought micro Keyer II a year ago, works OK, but overpriced. Bought it in
order to use Writelog with Wave files but never got it done, so use it for
RTTY and CW, no problem.
I also purchased separate cables from G4ZLP and Rascal BUXCOMM (for the
second Radio) - much less expensive and work just super.
Happy New Year!
