[WriteLog] microKeyer II as DVK

[Joe Subich, W4TV]

Hans, 

They don't!  Writelog has its own software DVK that uses the 
soundcard in microKEYER II.  I suggest studying the WriteLog 
Help file under DVK as well as reviewing the information at 
http://writelog.k9jy.com.  

Two other contest packages can make use of the microHAM DVK 
through the microHAM Control Protocol (formerly microHAM 
SO2R Protocol) but since they also have their own internal 
software DVK, I recommend using the application DVK in most 
cases since it is better integrated with the program. 

The microHAM DVK is very handy when it comes to constant 
calling in a DX pile-up, etc. and can be controlled with an 
external PS/2 numeric keypad. 

73,
