K3 CW Problem
Locked
 
|
Am I just missing a setting. With my K3 CW is fine up to about 23wpm.
Any higher speed results in just spacing change e.g. I have n1mm cw working fine ….… keyboard on software sends qrq fine … n1mm sends qrq fine … paddle is stuck at about 20wpm … if I jack up the speed it increases the character speed bust adds a space so speed does not do up and it sounds like crap… anything I can do?

Sounds as though the paddle contacts need cleaning as well as the connector on the rear.

It turns out this did not solve my problem after all.

Do you have CONFIG:TX DELAY set higher than 8 or 10?

Victor's point is a good one. Thus the question are you working full
QSK or semi-QSK? If the TX Delay is long, default is about 8 ms as I recall, it will put in the required space for the correct timing to key an external amplifier. This can occur between every CW element in QSK mode. Also there is a Menu value for higher speed CW as opposed to what us old slow folks use. 73 Bob, K4TAX On 12/3/2019 3:33 PM, Victor Rosenthal 4X6GP wrote: > Do you have CONFIG:TX DELAY set higher than 8 or 10? > > 73, > Victor, 4X6GP > Rehovot, Israel > Formerly K2VCO > CWops no. 5 > http://www.qsl.net/k2vco/ > > On 03/12/2019 18:38, Keith Lamonica wrote: >> Am I just missing a setting.
