Hi Wayne and others, so after testing it I have to report that it is the same in both modes...standard QSK as same as in QRQ mode. It is occasional issue but it is repeatable. It is noticeable even with ATU bypassed, AGC THR 008... both QSK modes, quiet band... 73 - Petr, OK1RP - http://ok

Hi Wayne, Many thanks! The ATU switching is not the case probably because my ATU was bypassed... I will try to check what will be changed when old/new QSK is used. I will report the results. Best regards, 73 - Petr, OK1RP On Sat, Nov 7, 2015, at 02:04 AM, Wayne Burdick wrote: > We're talking

We're talking about two different things. What OK1RP may be hearing is the ATU switching its relays when he first transmits in a band segment that requires new LC settings. The firmware attempts to do that between CW elements (in RX mode). This should be extremely rare. (If it's happening more

Hi, It happends even when K3 is keying from it´s memory. So paddle or ext. bug is not an issue. 73 - Petr, OK1RP - http://ok1rp.blogspot.com -- View this message in context: http://elecraft.365791.n2.nabble.com/K3-QSK-CW-receive-audio-dropouts-tp7610047p7610060.html Sent from the Elecraf

Depends on the bug. With my McElroy stream I had to add a 1uf capacitor in parallel with it. After reducing the dit gap to compensate to the keying, it sounds great. On my Vibroplex Presentation, no capacitor is needed and keying is perfect. I noticed the same thing on my old K3 and a few other rig

Steve, I believe anything else you are hearing is something else. This issue is strictly on 12M, 10M and 6M. Even noticed on 10M and 6M AM with the artifact being a momentary carrier collapse. It's fast, about 10 milliseconds and does occur every 15 seconds. I tried a bug with my K3S and did

That particular audio dropout that I described will only happen on 12, 10 and 6 meters. If something similar is heard on other bands, look for some other cause. 73, Don W3FPR On 11/6/2015 3:06 PM, Steve Ellington wrote: K3SQSK on any band, CW...I hear an occasional clunk or pop but only wh

Petr, Yes, Wayne' explanation was that the PA Temp is sampled between characters in CW, so if one uses QSK and listens closely, you can hear the gaps in the audio when the K3 returns to receive. You may find a change in a firmware upgrade coming soon, but I don't know when. 73, Don W3FPR
