Is this a problem only with the K3 keyer, or is it also present if an external keyer (such as the Begali CW machine) is used? Mike KD8RQE In a message dated 4/12/2014 3:23:43 P.M. Eastern Daylight Time, [email protected] writes:
I have not seen anything posted on this in a long time, so thought I would revisit it to see if any progress had been made in the area of the QRQ feature. This feature was created so that cw ops could send with their keyboards, or in my case on a paddle at around 25 wpm, and have smooth cw being sent out. Otherwise, without QRQ being turned on. the cw sounds choppy even at 25 to 30 wpm. The only problem with this is that when QRQ is turned on, we lose some functions like shift, and hi and lo cut. If we turn off QRQ our cw sounds choppy and the faster you go the worse it gets. QRQ is turned on and off with the RIT buttion or in the menu. The other evening I was on the air with a friend and some very close qrm came up on frequency, we had to turn off QRQ in order to get the shift to work and our cw sending got choppy. The other issue is just using the RIT, this turns off the QRQ and again your cw begins to sound worse. So, you have RIT, Shift, Hi and Lo cut that do not function with QRQ turned on, and you need QRQ to have a good sound on cw. This is not a normal way for a receiver to function, and although I appreciate the workaround, I wonder if a more permanent solution might be on the way.
