Re: [Elecraft] FW: K3: CW in SSB mode broken?

2012-02-04 Thread Edward R. Cole
My solution for CW is by using a manual PTT on the sequencer when using CW mode sent by hand. This always on VHF or higher with transverters, preamps, ext TR relays and Tx amplifiers involved. When CW is generated by computer (keyboard) the sw I use has built-in TR delay in the PTT command.

Olli, Fine on all of that. I did not think of using a CW buffer - in instances where a sequencer is appropriate, QSK operation is not usually a goal, so if the operator has to send 2 or 3 dits that will not be heard on the air, I would think that is a reasonable compromise. Of course, each

Hi Don, Of course, each to his own - if a CW buffer is added to the sequencer operation, how does the operator keep up? Is all the CW delayed by the sequencer time, and the sidetone sent to the operator in real time with his input? I would think that would really boggle the mind if the

While it might be possible to modify control to allow CW in SSB with PTT if PTT and CW were activated at the very same instant (by adding diodes from key in, dit in and dah in to PTT In), that would not fix your issue with a sequencer since the sequencer (and foot switch) will generally set

Resent as the original didn't appear - sri if this is a dupe Mmm, interesting. Prompted by other comments, I tested CW-in-SSB band-by-band. Starting at 10m and working systematically down to 160m, the K3 would go into transmit mode but produce no power out on any band. However, after moving

One thing that disappointed me is that this very useful cross-mode feature (at least on 6m, where I do most of my operating), is available only if you are running VOX mode. I am not sure why it has been excluded when you run with a footswitch or sequencer to trigger the PTT line. I NEVER

Lance, It would be wise IMHO, for those using CW in SSB (or any other VHF/UHF gear) and also having a sequencer, to use the TX INH input on the ACC jack to inhibit transmit rather than asserting PTT at the end of the sequence. Yes, the K3 works a little differently than many other
