Key out delay for end of TX?

There is a Keyout to RF out default (adjustable) delay of 8ms on the K3.

What is the spec for RF out going inactive to Keyout going inactive?

Thanks

Re: Key out delay for end of TX?

One issue I'm trying to resolve is a manner to keep the KEY OUT active
in between CW elements. This of course would negate QSK operation but
the repeated clatter of an external relay is most annoying.

Any help or suggestions?

Hi Bob:

You can just put the K3 in SEMI breakin mode (Press hold
QSK button on Band UP) and set the delay to whatever you
want by adjusting the DELAY (press hold SPEED MIC and turn
knob to adjust). I believe that should produce the result
you are seeking.

A Winkey box or any of the other contest boxes using a Winkey chip in the
innards will allow a precise tailored delay that even incorporates the
keying speed. That takes care of the clatter of my 8410. I use the keyer in
the contest box instead of the one in the K3 because it can slightly delay
the key signal to insure no hot switching. The contest box supplies the PTT
signal for the amp and for external devices if needed.
