Keyer Monitor Pop

William Moore-5
Greetings,

On my K2, serial 3842, using the internal keyer, I always get a key pop
sound but only on the initial make (the first dit or dah upon the rig
cycling from rx to tx). It is sounds  popping sound like a low frequency
click or thud. It particularly annoying  when using my Kenwood HS-5
headphones. My signal, when monitored on the air, is clean so the pop is not
transmitted.  Therefore, the problem must lie in the keyer monitor. Can
someone advise where I might begin my troubleshoot or offer a solution?

Thank you.

Bill Moore, VE2WMA

Hi, Bill!

Check your t-r parameter in the MENU. That's the transmit/receive delay. If
it's too short, you'll often get that sort of thump win phones that don't
offer good low-frequency roll-off. (Most modern headphones fall into that
category, unfortunately).

I keep mine at 0.10, but then I don't care about hearing a gnat sneeze
between dits at 40 WPM, Hi!
