Hi Gang,
I have another rig (non-Elecraft) with an internal keyer.
And unfortunately its internal keyer tolerances are off at the extreme
ends.
Dots too short, dashes too long.
It uses the standard Curtis weighting control scheme (adjust both dot
dashes at same time).
So its impossible to fix
Hi All,
OK, I'm going to assume it was a false alarm. Today when I turned on the
rig it was still set to DATA A for the 80 meter band, so all is well. It
does appear to be band specific as the bands I have not done digital on are
still set to AFSK A, which appears to be the default. So I think
Mike and All,
You may be right--I haven't watched all that closely--but

Typically I see the lower priced ones without internal ATU's
or DSP. Also, lower priced ones tend to be

best I can be at
Exactly my thoughts, the #1 reason I built mine myself. I don't
remember what all options some have had, but I did see at least one that
was with the options I have and it would be a easy $1000.00 kit yet they
sold the radio for 6-7 hundred. Might be the economy and a guy needing
quick cash?

We're thinking alike I think. I've started with the assembly of the KAT2
option.
I've still got the KAT2, Batt, SSB, KIO2, and 160M options to build. I'm
hoping the installation of the KAT2 will fix my problem.

they solder nicely.
