looking for my best CW interface options for a Yaesu 101E to interface with Windows 10 software.
 

when he used the term "interface" and not "key" that told me he was wanting to send computer generated CW, and, my mind,for whatever reason, jumped to repeater IDing, and I used the term MCW.:confused:

now that I am thinking about it, is HF MCW even legal now , except for repeater IDing?

To me computer generated CW is simply CW where the computer initiates the contact closures to represent dashes or dots. Used to run a lot of the old MM type software such as MMCW, MMSSTV, MMRTTY etc.
 
This looks very promising thank you, any software suggestions that you have found to perform best?

I use WK3tools to program the buttons on top of the Winkeyer. https://www.hamcrafters2.com/WK3tools.html

If you want a logging program to interface with the Winkeyer then you have many options. A list of compatible programs are found here. https://www.hamcrafters2.com/WKAPPS.html

For general logging and chasing DX I use N3FJP's Amateur Contact Log (aka ACLog) http://www.n3fjp.com/ You set up macros in ACLog to send directly to the Winkeyer. For contesting I use N1MM https://n1mmwp.hamdocs.com/

Below are a few that I have tried. All will work with your WinKeryer.

Log4OM https://www.log4om.com/ but the interface was too busy for me.

Ham Radio Deluxe https://www.hamradiodeluxe.com/ The logbook is great but not much else.

DXLabs suite of software. Didn't like the logbook
