Wonder if anyone else has seen this odd K3 behaviour and may be able to help me solving the following problem. K3 with ATU and KPA K3 loaded with most recent firmware (MCU 4.12, FPF 1.13, DSP1 2.60). I have repeated the firmware download a couple of times, but it did not solve the problem

Re: [Elecraft] K3 CW keyer issues

My K2 internal keyer can not achieve a correct weight (50% duty cycle of dots). The minimum setting of 90 is still too heavy, except for at low speeds, where its acceptable. Anyone else having observed this, or is this just my K2? I am using external keyers (CMOS Super keyer and Winkeyer) for

[Elecraft] K2 internal key

I am unable to get a proper dot/space ratio with my K2 (#4662) internal keyer. With the lowest possible setting of 0,9 the dots are still much too long. The internal key is OK for QRS, but not for QRQ. Wonder if this is a general feature? 73/OZ4UN

[Elecraft] K3 chirp

Just to close this subject maybe. In addition to the chirp I found on my K3 on 3526 kHz I was told by others (Bruce N1LN) that they had found chirp on 14030.5 kHz. Bruce cured it by adding a resistor+capacitor to the Synth Board and load a specific f/w file and Bruce praises the support from

[Elecraft] Chirp on K3

This is only interesting for users of CW on the K3. You might want to check and see if your K3 - like mine #3674 with 3.68 firmware - produces a badly chirping signal when the VFO is set to a frequency in a very narrow range of 3525.970 to 3526.030 kHz while the rcvr is using 400 Hz x-tal
