Gerhard I find this problem only with the K1EL keyer, and only when using a paddle to key the K2 via WinKey (i.e., not when using the computer to send exchanges during a contest). Other external keyers, such as the Idiom Press Logikit CMOS-4, are fine. Therefore, one concludes that it is the K1EL keyer, not the K2, shortening the characters. The easy solution is to set KComp (in the WinKey testbed program) to a value of 2, which lengthens both dots and dashes slightly. That slight adjustment makes the CW sound perfect again. 73, John K1JD Jamestown, RI _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: [email protected] You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
