[WriteLog] Microham Digikeyer

[Joe Subich, W4TV]

Joe, 

The DigiKeyer does not include a WinKey keyer ... it supports 
only the Generates" method of CW generation.  As such, it is 
susceptible to the typical operating system and USB delays with 
"PC Generates" keying.  If you have a fast computer with minimal 
other software DK should provide adequate CW.  However, if you 
are after the best possible CW, microKEYER with its WinKey is 
the better tool.  

73,
