8 - System Considerations
DIGI KEYER II can be used with a wide variety of software. The capabilities of those packages will have
large influence on the level of computing power needed to utilize DK II.
When used with Windows based contest logging applications like N1MM Logger, Win-Test, and WriteLog or
Windows based general logging applications like DXLab Suite, DX4WIN, Logger 32 and others, the
microHAM control and interface application “microHAM Router” must run along side the application
program. Since both the logging programs and microHAM Router are real-time applications, system
performance will be dependent on both CPU speed and the amount of available RAM.
While microHAM Router will run on slower computers, the minimum tested system is a 1.6 GHz Pentium IV,
Windows XP, 512 MB RAM, CD-ROM, and USB 1.1 port. Whether Router can run as designed on slower
machines with less memory and leave enough resources for application programs has not been
determined. microHAM Router is not supported on any 16 bit version of Windows (95, 98, ME, SE).
In order to provide sufficient performance for simultaneous operation of microHAM Router, a logging
application, Internet connectivity and other accessory programs, the recommended system is a 2 GHz PC
compatible computer with Windows XP Home or higher, 1 GB RAM, CD-ROM, root USB 2.0 port, a
transceiver with supported control protocol and logger, control, or digital mode software.
DIGI KEYER II is also compatible with Apple Macintosh systems running OS 10.4 or later. It is directly
supported by MacLoggerDX (

) by Don Agro, VE3VRW as
well as µH Router and cocoaModem (
