First, thanks for all the replies.
Now to the findings. 1) use of “|” to nuke diddles - does not work for me. HW is KX3 #10868, MCU software 2.95, DSP 01 52. Set for FSK D. When sending from KX3 utility, terminal window ( last tab ), there is no extended diddle. When sending from Command Tester/ KX3 macros, extended 4 sec diddle is present and pervasive :-). Following sends ( from the testing line, or from the macro ) do not nuke diddle: KY CQ TEST KU1T|; KY CQ TEST KU1T |; KYW CQ TEST KU1T|; KYW CQ TEST KU1T |; KY CQ TEST KU1T; KY |; KY CQ TEST KU1T; |; 2) KX3 owner’s manual, C5, pp 18 "• The KX3 adds a 4-second “idle time” (giving you time to decide what to say next) after you stop sending. To terminate the idle period quickly, send the character . . - - in CW. This “IM” prosign can also be inserted at the end of message buffers." What is left is how to send . . - - in CW when operating FSK D… or how to insert a CW IM prosign ( which supposedly translates to | ) at the end of the buffer. " Entering | does not work for me as described above. The programming manual Rev G4, Nov 2018, pp 15: " @ In CW mode, this character normally terminates any CW message (via KY or manual send), emulating the K2. However, tapping 2 in CONFIG:CW WGHT changes ‘@’ to a prosign: the ‘at’ sign as used in e-mail addresses. This is the newest Morse Code character; it can be remembered as the prosign ‘AC’ (as in “the At Character”). ^D (EOT, ASCII 04) Quickly terminates transmission; use with CW-to-DATA. “ While it likely work with CW-data ( not tried here), any attempt to insert ^D (via Alt-004 method of entering ASCII codes) or @ sign does not trim the diddles. What finally worked for me: In N1MM, the following Fn key assignment sends the string and immediately trims the diddle: F1 CQ, {CATA1ASC KYW CQ TEST DE KU1T CQ;}{CAT1ASC RX;} Why my KX3 ignores | - have no idea. If anyone can verify that the | works for him, or tell me what I am doing wrong - I will be grateful; for now I have a solution - an ugly working solution beats slick nonworking one. See you on the bands ! 73, de KU1T _zjt -- ******************************************************************** Zbigniew J.
