KY command: internal buffer size?

[Tom, DL2RUM]

Hello,

I want to know how big the internal CW (or RTTY) buffer is, when using the KY command. The KY command can include 24 characters, but I guess the internal buffer is bigger than 24 characters.
How many characters can I send safely, when the extended KY command returned 0 (buffer<75% full)?

74 & Thanks de

Hi Tom. You can study the source code of KComm to be sure, since I am writing from memory which is not always reliable. But as far as I remember the buffer is *not* bigger than 24 characters. I believe that I send 24 characters if the buffer is empty. If it is less than 75% full I send 6 characters.
