WinKeyer3 and Ham Radio Deluxe DM780 Settings For CW
Yes the WinKeyer3 will work beautifully with Ham Radio Deluxe Digital Master 780 and the settings are very easy. To upgrade your WinKeyer2 to WinKeyer3 see my previous post, Upgrade Winkeyer 2 to Winkeyer 3. Winkeyer3 will also send RTTY FSK! More on that to come.
Winkeyer3 Cables
You can purchase the cables for WinKeyer USB from K1EL or maybe you have them laying around in a junk drawer as I did.
- USB Cable, A to B
- Keying Cable, RCA to radio keying plug (CW)
A paddle will plug right into the the Winkeyer.

I have been trying wk3 (surface mount) w/hrd and k3 – no luck. Get
” winkeyer not connected “. Latest bin file installed. Unable to get menu prompt from hrd. Works FB with N1MM. Good response from wk setup on com2.

In DM780 under Options>Modes+IDs see that you don’t have anything enabled in the CW tab. It could cause a conflict.
