K3: CW characters sound very hard / short
Locked
 
|
Hi,
a friend tells me that the CW characters sound very hard / short on his K3 in the standard mode "CW QRQ = OFF". This makes the characters at higher speed ~50WPM vy hardly readable by the QSO partner. Experiments with "CW WGHT" do not lead to success. At higher speeds, my friend therefore switches to the mode "CW QRQ = On", where the effect does not occur. However, some functions (RIT, SPLIT) are unfortunately not available there. Therefore, this is not an ideal solution. So far I have not found any clues to help him solve the problem. Are there other setting possibilities to solve this issue, or can there also be a hardware problem here? 73, Wolfgang DL2KI -- Sent from: http://elecraft.365791.n2.nabble.com/ ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[hidden email] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to [hidden email] |

What does he have for config/TX DLY? Try resetting it to default 008. High
values of TX DLY cause light CW weight.

Hi Andrew, Pete and Dave,
thank you very much for your feedback. Yes, when searching the mailing list, it depends a lot on the search terms. So sometimes the search is a bit difficult. I will therefore continue to search with other terms. The issue occurs with the K3 internal keyer and is already audible even at speeds below 50 WPM. The use of an external keyer would be a solution, but since the effect does not occur with my K3, for example, the sound of the CW characters should actually be equally good with all K3's. Already experimented with different menu parameters. "TX DLY" is set to "008". But on the basic problem this had so far no influence. I have therefore rather the assumption that here somewhere a hardware problem is present with this special K3. A hardware problem could also be indicated by the fact that the character shortening in the mode "CW QRQ = ON" does not occur in this form. Possibly the problem could lie therefore perhaps in the range, which makes the difference of these two modes. 73, Wolfgang Dl2KI -- Sent from: http://elecraft.365791.n2.nabble.com/ ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to lists+1215531472858-365791@n2.nabble.com |

Yes, this is the answer. The original KSYN boards didn't have a powerful
enough processor for high speed CW. My K3 works just fine for my weekly QRQ sked at about 60 WPM, and at least one other in the group runs a K3.

Hi,
thank you very much for the feedback. I will pass on the information to my friend. He will then have to see how he proceeds. 73, Wolfgang DL2KI -- Sent from: http://elecraft.365791.n2.nabble.com/ ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[hidden email] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to [hidden email] |
