CW to DATA with paddle

[IK2HKT - Stefano]

Hi guys,

today I tried to use my paddle trasmitting in FSK mode as mentioned on the
manual at page 32.

The TX and RX decode work very well but I found trouble using IM (immediatly
exit) or
BT (extented timeout).
Pratically speaking the above two command don't work ... after write some
words
the K3 remain in a data idle state for about 4 seconds and after switch to
RX mode.

The manual said:
"To cut short the idle transmit period and exit to receive mode, send ..--
(IMmediately
exit). This character is not transmitted as data."

But in the reality the IM is trasmitted and the K3 continue the idle for 4
seconds.

Some of you have tested this feature ?

Maybe I'm doing some wrong ?

Any help is appreciated.

73's - Sten

Make sure you are sending IM or BT as one character -- no space between
the 'I' and the 'M'.

IF "IM" is sent, then you are probably leaving too much space between the
two pair of elements... they MUST be sent as ONE CHARACTER, not two.

In fact I JUST (now) tested it and it is working well.

>Maybe I'm doing some wrong ?

Possibly.  Are you in FSK D mode?

With all due respect, are you confident in your proper sending of the ..--
character?  As soon as I send ..--, transmission ceases after about 1/2 second
delay and IM is NOT sent.

Good luck,
