John, That is how most all prosigns should be sent. Not as individual letters, but with no spaces between. If you look at properly typeset prosigns, you will see them represented with a bar over the top - that means what is represented by the letters shown is only a representation - send the elements all run together rather than as separate letters. You send the "AS" prosign as didahdididit, "KN" as dahdidahdahdit, etc. In emails and other text formats, it is difficult to represent the bar over the characters unless graphics are used.
The space between each element should be only a dit time rather than a dah time as you would see between different letters. 73, Don W3FPR On 12/2/2011 9:26 PM, John Stasiw wrote: > > > > Many thanks for suggestions. > Solution is to send IM in cadence of question mark,ie, dididahdah.That works. > > --- On Sat, 3/12/11, John Stasiw<[email protected]> wrote: > > > From: John Stasiw<[email protected]> > Subject: [Elecraft] Prosign "IM" to end K3 RTTY idle not working > To: Date: Saturday, 3 December, 2011, 9:50 > > > In using a paddle for CW-to-DATA operation I have found the prosign "IM" > does not halt idle after one second but just enables the idle to continue to > runout for an additional 4 seconds. > Any thoughts on the problem would be appreciated. > 73 > John Stasiw > VE6GJ > ______________________________________________________________ > Elecraft mailing list > Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft > Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm > Post: mailto:[email protected] > > This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net > Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html > ______________________________________________________________ > Elecraft mailing list > Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft > Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm > Post: mailto:[email protected] > > This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net > Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html > ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
