A sharp-eared operator at W3LPL told me that my CW keying sounded a little light in the CQWW contest. I am using a Winkeyer, controlled by N1MM Logger, connected to the KEY jack on the back of the K3.
An oscilloscope shows that the Winkeyer is producing a string of dits at the proper 50% duty cycle. However, looking at the RF envelope of the K3 output, the duty cycle is about 40%. Listening to the K3 on another receiver, the dit shortening is quite noticeable. If I set CONFIG: CW QRQ = ON, the transmitted dits are exactly 50% duty cycle. However I can’t live with the RIT, Split, etc. restrictions with QRQ ON. I have two K3’s, and they both behave the same way. Any ideas out there? Thanks!
