The K1EL software and support resource is excellent for getting the most from the WinKeyer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I selected the K1EL WinKeyer as it&#8217;s hard to find a contest or logging app that does not support WinKeyer. K1EL created the Winkeyer interface back in 2001 and did all the work convincing software developers to incorporate it into their applications. Steve K1EL as approved the use of the WinKeyer processor in the URC.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The URC serial port is used to communicate with the K1EL WinKeyer processor, providing support for all the available functions. A front-panel switch provides easy selection of the serial port function, between CAT control, HT programming or the WinKeyer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In external keypad is under development to provide the full 6 memory button capability supported by WinKeyer, this is accessed via the paddle jack and enabled with an internal jumper.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Personality board features:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Uses latest WinKeyer3 IC (V3.1)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>1 Message push button, (external 6-button board under development)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>3.5mm style <strong>Key<\/strong> and <strong>PTT <\/strong>outputs on front panel<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>High voltage physical PTT relay in the URC<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Weighting, Keying compensation, and Letterspace<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Sidetone speaker on board<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Front Panel Speed Control<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Paddle connector on front panel<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Custom silk-screened front panel<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>USB interface serial port function selection <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">NOTE: The WinKeyer personality board does not include the K1EL WinKeyer processor. You will need to source this from K1EL Systems in the US or Kanga UK in the UK\/Europe. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/g1lro.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/s-l1600-1-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-312\" srcset=\"https:\/\/g1lro.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/s-l1600-1-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/g1lro.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/s-l1600-1-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/g1lro.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/s-l1600-1-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/g1lro.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/s-l1600-1.jpg 1296w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Purchasing the WinKyer CW processor <\/strong><br>(just the 14 pin DIP IC, not the URC personality board)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"225\" height=\"225\" src=\"https:\/\/g1lro.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/225x225.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-269\" style=\"aspect-ratio:1;width:83px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/g1lro.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/225x225.webp 225w, https:\/\/g1lro.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/225x225-150x150.webp 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.k1elsystems.com\/WK3IC.html\">Link to K1EL<\/a>  WinKeyer 3.2  CW Processor page<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.kanga-products.co.uk\/ourshop\/prod_8025275-K1EL-Winkeyer3-IC.html\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.kanga-products.co.uk\/ourshop\/prod_8025275-K1EL-Winkeyer3-IC.html\">Link to Kanga UK<\/a> WinKeyer 3.2  CW Processor page<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Board construction and use guide<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-wp-embed is-provider-g-1-lro-homepage wp-block-embed-g-1-lro-homepage\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"wp-embedded-content\" data-secret=\"tv7qaBIh35\"><a href=\"https:\/\/g1lro.uk\/?p=471\">WinKeyer Board Assembly<\/a><\/blockquote><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-embedded-content\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts\" security=\"restricted\" style=\"position: absolute; clip: rect(1px, 1px, 1px, 1px);\" title=\"&#8220;WinKeyer Board Assembly&#8221; &#8212; G1LRO HOMEPAGE\" src=\"https:\/\/g1lro.uk\/?p=471&#038;embed=true#?secret=A9Ffv19JTs#?secret=tv7qaBIh35\" data-secret=\"tv7qaBIh35\" width=\"500\" height=\"282\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Introducing the second option for the Universal Radio Controller V2.2, is the K1EL WinKeyer V3.1 personality board.
