Re: [KX3] Re: N1MM and KX3

I would also cast a vote for an additional feature under the OPTIONS on the KX3
TERMINAL, to be able to set up to 1000 ms of delay between when the KX3 is put into
TRANSMIT mode, and the actual CW message starts. That would be a very handy option
when the KX3 is used with an amplifier.

Aside from using the TERMINAL feature of the KX3 Utility as an emergency CW tool, I
also am building an isloated DTR interface to the KX3 KEY jack, so I will be able to
use programs that automatically send CW from the computer. GL and VY 73, Lance

Re: [KX3] Re: N1MM and KX3

I'm not sure how that would help. When you touch the paddle, what causes the amp to change to TX? How is that different from sending CW via the KY command?
