I know that. It isn't the problem, though. The problem is when you send TX; the K3 *only* sends the idle sequence. It does not send any of the text sent to it using the KY command. Laurent F6DEX wrote: > > To avoid the iddle sequence, just send ^D at the end of the string as > indicated in the

Julian, To avoid the iddle sequence, just send ^D at the end of the string as indicated in the doc. You can send text word by word or phrase by phrase (24 characters less one for ^D). Letter by letter is not convenient in data mode but supported in CW. Laurent F6DEX -- View this message in cont

Hi Julian. Perhaps it has something to do with the way HRD implements KY keying? I have used it for CW for years, first on the K2 with my old program K2Net and then on the K3 with KComm and I have never noticed the issue you mention. KY keying still works fine on CW, it is only the digital modes

Interesting that you bring this up Julian. I've been using KY mode from HRD DM780 but it just wasn't 'conversational' enough for me - so today I've gone back to using the trusty Winkey to generate CW. Maybe it was a function of VOX timing, but at 25wpm, I'd send something like de and the d wo

Has there been a change in the way the K3 KY command works recently? In CW mode it is not normally necessary to send TX; before using the KY command to send CW as TX is activated by enabling VOX which is the normal situation for QSK operation. In FSK D or PSK D however I am sure that it was alway

[Elecraft] [K3] KY command: internal buffer size?

2009-12-17 Thread Tom, DL2RUM
Hello, I want to know how big the internal CW (or RTTY) buffer is, when using the KY command. The KY command can include 24 characters, but I guess the internal buffer is bigger than 24 characters. How many characters can I send safely, when the extended KY command returned 0 (buffer<75% full)?
