Joe,
I haven't used my DigiKeyer in a full CW contest yet, but in my
occasional use of it, there has been no stuttering. Initially I had a
problem with RTTY and an occasional stutter, but I think the kinks have
been worked out - I played in the NAQP RTTY this past weekend for about 6
hours and never had a problem or a stutter. Once, the display of sent
text stopped briefly, but I could hear the transmitted data continuing,
and, sure enough, the display caught up after about a 2 second pause.
I'm very pleased with mine, so far. One question for you - since you're
more of a big CW contester rather than RTTY/digi, why not go for the
MicroKeyer? Then stuttering wouldn't even be in the equation.
73, Duane
