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.
