Appropriate DXE sequencer delay times for NCC-1, receive preamp, K3, KPA500

NH7RO
Setting up a DXE NCC-1 noise/phasing unit with my K-line and a simple amplified receive (noise) antenna and need to confirm the right delays for the various parts of the system.


Here are the typical delay times indicated for the DXE TVSU-1 sequencer for solid-state gear:


PTT: 10ms  (VOX will never be used as per the DXE manual)

CW: 10ms  (won't be using CW mode except for tuning up) I operate SSB only.

AUX: 0 ms (T/R switching)

PREAMP: 20ms   (using a DXE RPA-1 with 102" vertical wire)

LINEAR: 16ms  (is this fine for the KPA500?)


The receive (noise pickup) antenna will be more than 1/10th wavelength from my closest xmit antenna and actually close to 1/4 wavelength away but I often run 600 watts to both of my HF verticals.


If anyone knows the best or recommended delay times for Elecraft gear I'm all ears---hope to get this up and running before the CQ WW this weekend.


73,


Jeff,  NH7RO
