Hello together,
why is the CW weight setting so crude? It would be nice if the setting
would be a more common value like 3.0 as for dash length of 3 dits.
At the moment I do not understand what 1.05 really means.
Wayne, can this be corrected?
Kind regards!

Dennis -
Thanks for the post. I’ve had a K3 for about five years and have really liked
the feel/sound of it’s keying. Got a KX3 about a year ago and immediately
noticed that is just didn’t sound the same as big brother. Not bad, but just
not the same. I pretty much ignored it, as it wan’t really troubling me. But
when I saw your post, I thought I’d see if that makes a difference for me. One
word: WOW! I dropped my setting down to 1.05 as you suggested and now, on my
KX3, it is perfect - for me, anyway. And the spacing/weight seems (to me) to be
exactly like what big brother produces.
Thanks!

After receiving a "459" report during a CW contact this week, it occurred to me that I had never
actually "listened" to the transmitted CW signal from my KX3. Doing so, I discovered the CW
weighting was set heavy by my ears (1.25), quite a bit different than what the CW sidetone represented, and
possibly contributing to the readability report. I reset the weighting to "1.05" and the CW output
now sounds exactly like the sidetone spacing. For those KX3 drivers out there, you may want to either listen
to your transmitted signal, or simply trust my assessment and set menu CW WGHT to 1.05. Dennis - WU6X
