Is anyone else seeing the following: KXPD3 randomly fails to produce a *beginning* "dit" - happens infrequently; perhaps once or twice every couple hundred characters. Issue does *not* occur with external paddle via key jack on left side.
Keying speed does not seem to be a factor. Only happens with a "beginning" dit -- almost like a delay after pressing the "dit" paddle. Very random. "Dah" paddle not involved; unaffected. Here's how to make it happen (if it's going to happen at all to you) -- repeatedly send a string of H's or 5's -- you may have to send 50 or a hundred. If you have the problem I have, you will note that at the point of failure, your thumb is pressing on the dit paddle with the same even pressure but nothing is happening. Then, suddenly, the dits resume. Best described as a "random delay" in commencing the dits. Please - no jokes about "operator error" -- this is really happening. And NO, I did not break the paddle (yet) with my heavy fist. It's less than two days old ;) 73, Stan WB2LQF (KX3 0325) ______________________________________________________________ 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
