Whilst in QSO with a European station recently, he asked if I was using a K3. I told him that I was and asked why he was asking. He said he thought I was using a K3 as he recognised the hard keying, having heard it on some other K3s. I was using the NR option at the time.
This was the first critical report on the hard keying of my K3 that I have received since I started using it in May. I only operate CW and have made well over 4500 QSOs with it so far, but have only recently started using the NR option. I believe I read something about this on the Reflector recently but a search of the archives does not reveal anything - perhaps it was on the K3 Reflector? I carried out some tests this morning on 80 metres with a good friend (a K2 owner) and someone who I can rely on to give me honest reports. I didn't tell him what I was doing, but asked him to comment on the hardness of my keying in position 1 and position 2. Position 1 was without NR and position 2 was with it. He said the keying was noticeable harder in position 2. I am not a technical person, hence my question as to whether using the NR option can effect the hardness of the keying? If it can, is it fixable, please?
