K3 Keyer
Locked

Will the early versions of the K3 internal keyer have
"Bug" mode available (manual dah, generated dit)? Many thanks.

Ray:
Not as far as I can tell. My K3 does NOT. You could, however, SIMULATE the process, by connecting only the DIT side of your paddles to the DIT (TIP) contact of the PADDLE plug, and the DAH contact of the paddle to the TIP of the KEY plug. This having been said... I've used a number of keyers which purported to offer a 'bug' mode and none(!) have ever felt anywhere near 'right'... and I've used bugs for DECADES... 73, Tom At 07:47 08/22/2007, you wrote: >Will the early versions of the K3 internal keyer have >"Bug" mode available (manual dah, generated dit)? > >Many thanks. >Ray K3RIZ >_______________________________________________ >Elecraft mailing list >Post to: [hidden email] >You must be a subscriber to post to the list. >Subscriber Info (Addr.

This is because a whole lot of the feel of a bug comes from the momentum of the weight swinging back and forth. A 'bug mode' keyer is a pale imitation. -- 73, Vic, K2VCO Fresno CA http://www.qsl.net/k2vco _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: [hidden email] You must be a subscriber to post to the list.

If Wayne seems them, they will capture his imagination and there will indeed be a CW spell checker in the next firmware release. If this keeps up - the firmware will NEVER be done and you all will not get your radios anytime soon.

I don't think it's the keyer's fault; the keyer is just responsible for
timing. My keyer code emulates a bug mode; in regular iambic or bug mode, a Bencher paddle is going to feel......well....like a Bencher paddle :-) 72 Goody K3NG Vic K2VCO wrote: > Tom Hammond wrote: > >> This having been said...

The K3, as has been mentioned has a digital mode encode/decode feature that lets you operate digital modes without a computer. One of the things that you can do is send CW with the paddle and have the K3 convert it into RTTY or PSK for you. I recently had my first RTTY QSO since 1982 this way! When you do this, what you send scrolls by on the K3's display. If your spelling or CW spacing is not so good, you can see it! -- 73, Vic, K2VCO Fresno CA K3 ("James") s/n 0007 http://www.qsl.net/k2vco _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: [hidden email] You must be a subscriber to post to the list.

Can you use an external keyer (or straight key if your sending is good enough) to do this ? 73 Brendan EI6IZ (k3 sub 0120 ;-) _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: [hidden email] You must be a subscriber to post to the list.

You'll also be able to send/receive CW, PSK, and FSK using a plain ASCII terminal emulator. 73, Wayne N6KR --- http://www.elecraft.com _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: [hidden email] You must be a subscriber to post to the list.

Is there a way we can turn it off so we DON'T know how bad we are sending?

Kevin,
Any you thought we could not hear you because of band conditions? The secret is out now, you don't even like the code you send. hi hi. 73 Mark, KJ7BS Glendale, AZ Edtior, The SKCC Centurion Elecraft K2 # 00539 FISTS -- SKCC -- QRP-ARCI -- etc., etc., etc., blah, blah blah ---- Kevin Rock <[hidden email]> wrote: ============= Is there a way we can turn it off so we DON'T know how bad we are sending?
