Hello,

> Now the DVR are going out for the K3 I have a software request:
> The K3 internal voice keyer can be programmed with the RS232 commands.
> Is it possible to add those commands to Win-test?

This seems like a must to me. When I look at the number of K3s being 
used by contesters, it would make a lot of people happy.

It would also be very nice if WinTest would finally also support 
Elecraft's internal keyers (K2 and K3).

----------------------------------------------------------------------
KS (Keyer Speed; GET/SET)

SET/RSP format: KSnnn; where nnn is 008-050 (8-50 WPM).

----------------------------------------------------------------------

KY (CW or CW-to-DATA Keying from Text; GET/SET)

SET format: KY*[text]; where * is a BLANK (ASCII hex 0x20) and [text] is 
0 to 24 characters. Basic RSP format: KYn; where n is 0 (CW text buffer 
not full) or 1 (buffer full).

K2 Extended RSP format (K22): KYn; where n is 0 (buffer < 75% full), 1 
(buffer > 75% full), or 2 (buffer completely empty AND transmit of 
previous string is complete.

The following keyboard characters are mapped to CW "prosigns":
( KN
+ AR
= BT
% AS
* SK
! VE

In addition to these prosigns, four special characters can be inserted 
anywhere in the KY command text:


<

Puts the K3 into TX TEST mode, until a '>' character is received


 >

Returns the K3 to TX NORM mode


@

In CW mode, this character normally terminates any CW message (via KY or 
manual send), emulating the K2. However, tapping ‘2’ in CONFIG:CW WGHT 
changes ‘@’ to a prosign: the ‘at’ sign as used in e-mail addresses. 
This is the newest Morse Code character; it can be remembered as the 
prosign ‘AC’ (as in “the At Character”).


^D

(EOT, ASCII 04) Quickly terminates transmission; use with CW-to-DATA.
