Increase the weight setting going into the K3 jack.

73,  Roy    K6XK



harp-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?
