I like to do CW and digital modes. I have a harness that includes the digirig and a k1el wkmini. On the USB side I have a USB c y-cable, adapter for the wkmini. It creates a cabling mess.
What if there was a digirig with the wkmini built in? It seems that k1el supports OEM designs as seen in kanga-products.
It would also enable a nice solution for computer side decoders like winwarbler win4k3suite, etc

Dave,
Thank you for the suggestion. This is the first request of this nature so the demand is not sufficient to justify this mod, but I’ll keep my ear to the ground.
Hello,
It would be a good feature to be able keying CW.
In this post I propose something similar, “simply” adding a second com port for CW keying

Digirig with winkey would be a great tool even for contesters & dxpedition !
Please keep it in mind

The K1EL keyers have interesting input/output protections for RF and voltage. I do not think the design is open source, but you might get some design ideas from what is public.
I have used the Digirig to capture CW sidetone audio from a radio’s keyer to share in Zoom sessions.
Many operators are wondering, how can I make my current QRO rig do CW keying and digital audio modes like the QMX multi-band transceiver kit from QRP Labs. The single black box to do that does not exist right now.
On top of what the QMX can do, a typical CW operator wants a Winkey USB interface, too. That is what the original post is getting at with his combo harness with the K1EL WKmini and the Digirig.
That’s what’s going on in this thread, I think.
Another thought:
The CW operators do not have many smart phone apps yet ( MorseKeyer FAQ — CW Paddle & Keyer App Questions), unlike the digital operators.

I too would be interested in a Digirig with the K1EL keyer built in. I can commit to buying two if they are ever produced. - Duffey KK6MC
