Re: [Elecraft] Feature Request: improved internal keyer and CW PTT behavior

Hi Bob, The Win-Test PTTOff script corrects the unwanted K3 PTT VOX delay! Hopefully Elecraft will eventually eliminate the unwanted PTT VOX delay too. Thanks 73 Frank W3LPL - Original Message - From: "Bob Wilson [via Elecraft]"

This is getting harder to understand than organic chemistry was. See interspersed questions and results of trying to duplicate. Somehow, keying an external amp has come into this, the issue I've been trying to duplicate for you was excessive delay in going back to receive. On 2/14/2017

Re: [Elecraft] Feature Request: improved internal keyer and CW PTT behavior

Frank, Pardon my ignorance on this issue if the below is off target. The asynchronous nature of an external ptt appears to be a problem. Suppose the K3 is in the middle of a long 100 watt dash and the external ptt signal is dropped. It clearly takes some time for the RF tail to drop to zero.

Re: [Elecraft] Feature Request: improved internal keyer and CW PTT behavior

If Wayne will be tearing up the code in this area, it might not be hard to fix the problem that the internal keyer weighting is much heavier in PTT mode than in QSK or semi-QSK VOX. 73, Vic, 4X6GP Rehovot, Israel Formerly K2VCO http://www.qsl.net/k2vco/ On 14 Feb 2017 12:50, Igor Sokolov

Re: [Elecraft] Feature Request: improved internal keyer and CW PTT behavior

May be Elecraft can also look at the 8 msec PTT delay which cannot be made longer without distorting CW. Some of the apmplifiers are not that quick. 73, Igor UA9CDC 14.02.2017 10:52, donov...@starpower.net пишет: Okay, lets take Eric's lead and open an interesting thread directly related

[Elecraft] Feature Request: improved internal keyer and CW PTT behavior

Okay, lets take Eric's lead and open an interesting thread directly related to an excellent Elecraft product. For years many of us have suffered with the odd behavior of the K3 in CW PTT mode. There are at least two inexplicble aspects of K3 CW PTT behavior that have forced many of us to
