Gary,
The original microKEYER is different from the microKEYER II.
When configured properly with a three port soundcard, MK
works correctly with Writelog "record on the fly." However,
the soundcard must be a full "7f", the mic preamp must be
set properly in MK and Writelog configured to echo the mic.
There is no need for a "Y" connection but all three audio
cables must be connected properly between microKEYER and
the soundcard.
73,
... Joe, W4TV
