[Elecraft] [KX3] Key Clicks

2014-09-13 Thread Joel Black
I'm not sure what I've done. Not sure if I just woke up and noticed it or if I've done something that's caused it. With my KX3 terminated into a dummy load, split and dual watch active, VFO B 1 - 5.3 kHz up or down from VFO A, filter set to 450 Hz and centered, I am getting key clicks on VFO B

John, Thanks for the tip. I have a hard time filtering the F.O.D. on the KX3 Yahoo group. I'll go back and look there too. I have set the DLY and finally got it where I can tolerate the key clicks, but the DLY is set to about 0.20 - basically, it only clicks at the end of transmit. I *did

I'm going to jump in here with my 2 cents worth, because I would REALLY like Elecraft to clean up the QSK on the KX3. Recently I've been noticing annoying pops in the speaker when sending CW. Maybe they've always been there. I never noticed them before. It's been a while since I installed firmw

I have the same problem with my KX3 serial 0325, uC=1.5 and DSP=1.21.  I never really noticed it until I abandoned paddles and reverted to bug and 'swiper operation.  It's not impossible; just "unpleasant" so I turn down the AF gain with my left hand when transmitting. It may have always been

I played around in the SKCC WES for a couple of hours this weekend. I noticed something odd (to me at least) about the key clicks: If I turn my power supply *off* and just run off the internal batteries, the key clicks dissipate. They don't altogether disappear, but they do diminish. It's "les

I run off batteries 100% of the time, typically around 12.6 volts. I hear clicks. --Mark On 9/15/2014 03:08, Joel Black wrote: I played around in the SKCC WES for a couple of hours this weekend. I noticed something odd (to me at least) about the key clicks: If I turn my power supply *off* an

I am almost reluctant to post this. I know there will be some that will not take this as it was intended. Regardless, here is my disclaimer: Don't take this as griping, complaining, beating a dead horse, etc. These are strictly *my* observations at *my* station operating the way *I* operate - Q

[Elecraft] KX3 - Key Clicks with CW in SSB

2014-09-10 Thread Jim Stahl via Elecraft
With V2.19, it's good to finally get the CW delay issue when using CW in SSB resolved. However, I have noticeable key clicks when using CW in SSB with an external keyer. I hear them both in the KX3 monitor, and listening on a separate receiver. No problem when using the internal keyer, or

A few days ago, I wrote that my biggest annoyance with the KX3 were the key clicks / ringing when working split. After installing the latest Beta F/W (2.23), and turning the KX3's RX IF shift to 8.0, the ringing is gone! Last night, I worked W1AW/5 on 30 m split (1 up) and there was no ringing

It's a problem with the CW/T-R state machine. Easy fix. Wayne On Sep 10, 2014, at 8:14 PM, Jim Brown wrote: > On Wed,9/10/2014 5:31 PM, Wayne Burdick wrote: >> I didn't notice that in my tests, but I've added it to the list. > > Wayne -- is this simple modulation by computer generated CW? If
