Re: K1EL K3NG keyer
In the end, I found that the K3NG emulator worked but lacked a bunch of features that I needed. Memory in the Arduino UNO was also very limited such that many features could not be included.
I went with an ESP32 board and an optical encoder. This also meant that I would have to write my own code to emulate the K1EL, which I did. I left out all the stuff I did not need such as RTTY and PTT support as I only needed the keyer itself. This was placed into an extruded Aluminum casing which then sprayed black. The upshot is that this is USB powered so it does not need a separate power supply and makes for a very compact unit that works well.
