I know that if I try full breakin with the Pro3, I get the first character chopped a bit...
Which brings up my solution to all of this for the Pro3... I do not run breakin. I set the delay for T/R switching to about .5 seconds. That keeps the transmitter keyed all the time I am sending... Will I see the distorted CW problem using that mode with the K3? -- Thanks and 73's, For equipment, and software setups and reviews see: www.nk7z.net for MixW support see; http://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/mixw/info for Dopplergram information see: http://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/dopplergram/info for MM-SSTV see: http://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/MM-SSTV/info On Sun, 2014-04-13 at 09:58 -0700, Rich wrote: > OK, so I'm a 15-20 wpm operator on good days....
