I have always run Mode A from the time that Iambic came along, I can't manage the extra dit that Mode B inserts. Nor have I ever mastered the fine art of squeezing gently. Too old I guess. I get perfect keying from my K3 using the HexKey, and so far as I know, it has never burped, belched, or stuttered. I have ... but not the radio. In contests when running N1MM with a USB WinKey, I use the K3 internal keyer for fills and requests and I've never experienced a problem there either even though N1MM is polling the radio. My K2 exhibits a very tiny, just noticeable occasional "irregularity" but it is very rare and not a problem. Incidentally, the HexKey is markedly smoother and better than either of my two "vanilla" Benchers with the spring. 73, Fred K6DGW - Northern California Contest Club - Celebrating our 40th year on the air - Look for stations signing "/40" - Info at www.nccc.cc/40th ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
