[TRLog] Logikey K-3 & TR-Log

[Larry Menzel]

I would agree with Tree.  I have a Logikeyer, but it's in parallel with the
computer, so that I can use my key
for fills and the like, but I see no cogent reason why you'd need to have
the computer key the Logikeyer to key the radio?
To what end?

The only thing I could possibly imagine is that you don't personally care
for the weighting of the cw from the computer,
(the Logikeyer gives you a lot of choices for that plus dot-dash memory
selection) but I'd counter that by saying that
the vast majority of cw ops prefer the standard 3:1 that the program
uses...maybe I'm out on a limb here, but I don't think so.

I don't know anything about the K3.  However, I would be interested
in knowing what, if anything, you think is missing from the
implementation of the keyer included in TR?  Aside from having to
have your computer running TR, I am not aware of any other
limitations.

The problem I see with using an external keyer while having TR running
occurs when both are trying to send CW at the same time.
