I'm wondering if there is a way to escape the 4-5 second gradual increase (ramp up) of audio drive when in DATA-A mode on the K3? I run WSJT on DATA-A and every transmit sequence starts at about 50% power out due to the audio drive ramp up. It takes the K3 about 4-5 seconds to reach full power. This OK when my transmit sequence is 1 minute long but there is a test mode under WSJT called Echo which permits me to measure my own eme echoes. However, Tx/Rx cycle in Echo is about 1.5 seconds long and I cannot test at full power. This is a fully automated test routine so I can't use CW. The program transmits a continuous tone which is the same as key-down on CW, and returns a measurement of my Moon echo which is real nice to determine system performance.
But I can't use the Echo function with DATA-A on the K3 as it is. I wonder why the K3 acts this way in DATA-A? I did not have any issue running WSJT test modes with my FT-847. 73, Ed - KL7UW, WD2XSH/45 ====================================== BP40IQ 500 KHz - 10-GHz www.kl7uw.com EME: 50-1.1kw?, 144-1.4kw, 432-QRT, 1296-?, 3400-?
