Amplifier keying line delay setting

[Howard Sherer]

It appears that the amplifier keying line is always set to operate as
QSK with
no delay. This keying signal dose not follow the delay that is set for
the VOX
on CW. The only way that I have found to keep the keying line closed is
to put
the KX3 into xmit with the front panel button.

Will an adjustable delay for the amplifier keying signal be added in the
future?

In cw mode:
Make sure QSK is not on.
Make sure VOX is on.
Push in and hold the speed control till "CW n.nn" appears.
Rotate the speed control to set the drop out time you want.
Anything up to 2 seconds can be set.

Let us know if this doesn't work for you.

The CW delay is not the issue but the delay fore the amplifier keyeng
circuit. It is always set for QSK and dose not follow the delay that is
set for the CW break in.

Howard,

Read the manual carefully - it says that the delay is the time for the
receiver to *unmute* - it does not claim to extend the Keyout time.

Now, having said that, there is nothing wrong with appealing to Wayne
and other designers to have it also apply to the Keyout timing.
