DXbase includes three different CW interfaces.  One is entirely built into DXbase and requires no additional hardware except for a simple diode/transistor similar to those used with CT.  The second is an interface to the W5XD Multi+ CW keyer board that was developed and sold by the makers of the contest program WriteLog.  Third is the Winkey external CW board by K1EL.  DXbase supports the CW functionality of these external board.  You can easily select the one you want to use from user options.  Some serial/parallel port cards and newer motherboards will not work with the internal DXbase CW module due to conflicts between the hardware and our legacy driver.  In this situation, it may be necessary to obtain a legacy serial port card or to use one of the external CW boards.  External boards are recommended to insure outstanding CW with no jerkiness from the CPU sharing in Windows operating systems.
