Kent yes i did try that. I prefer Iambic A as Petr does, his experience
is identical to mine.
I had tried iambic B previous to your advice with no change, and i don't
use squeeze keying in any case. this is testing at 15 wpm.
The issue is random, and sometimes I can nearly get through a CQ without
it messing up.
On my Yaesu rigs, same procedure, I have no issue and the send is
perfect heard & tested with cwget monitor.
On the KX3 I can tap for a dah and sometimes get a dit-dat-dit or
dah-dit. When sending the 4 in my call I often get a dit after the last dah.
or a dah-dit on the T.
How the right paddle can produce a dit is beyond me. Left is set dit.
I have played with weight and delay settings also to no avail. Thankyou
for your response.

Before taking any drastic measures, switch to the other Iambic mode from what
you are currently using and see if that helps. If using Iambic A, switch to
Iambic B or vice-versa. It’s in the CONFIG menu.

Petr, I have exactly the same issue here, seems to be with keyer, and I have
a new paddle from Elecraft
Especially with the right dah key I have inadvertent dits generated before
and sometimes after a correct T send.
I often get a R or N, and it is very annoying. I have tried FW reload and
stronger springs to no avail.
It seems the KX3 keyer has a mind of its own and cannot generate clean cw.
Let me know if you find a solution please ?

I've been using KX3 for some time now and still have some problems
with CW keying. I'm using squeeze keying Curtis A. In the KX3 menu,
there is selected A squeeze mode but during the QSO, it seems that the
B is still enabled. The internal keyer very often adds dash, sometimes
dot. It's horrible, because of that, I have to use an external keyer
(TinyKeyer by Martin, OK1RR).
It seems the problem is not with the paddle, I tried to use two
paddles - Mercury N2DAN paddle from Bencher and Electraft Hexkey
paddle. Still the same result. It's really annoying because when I
operate from portable, I have to take care also about external keyer.
What could be the problem? KX3 SN is 7742 with latest firmware
installed.

I love CW (HSC, CWOPS, FOC) and this keying issue is the only thing I
don't like on my KX3.
Thanks for your help
