In this respect, the iambic mode most likely to exhibit this behavior is iambic mode B, which when sending an iambic string dit-dah-dit-dah-etc. an extra dit will be sent if the paddles are released during a dah, or an extra dah will be sent if the paddles are released during a dit. When iambic mode A is selected, if the paddles are released during a dah only that dah is completed and keying stops. If the paddles are released during a dit only that dit is completed and keying stops. Why anyone would choose mode B, with its much more critical paddle timing requirements compared to mode A, has never had an intelligent answer that I've seen in 44 years as a Morse-using ham. It's a system that many seem to like for which no one is able to cite any advantage (except that most incompetently- and carelessly-designed Asian-source rigs with iambic keying allow *only* mode B). Go figure! :-) There's no guarantee that being in mode B is your problem, of course. 73, Mike / KK5F ______________________________________________________________ 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
