Odd ... I operate almost exclusively CW at 20 - 40 WPM with both a K3 (#0056) and a K2/100 (#5665) and have never experienced the problem you describe.
FWIW, the K3 has been heavily used in numerous contests by KE7X. 73 K0PP On Jun 20, 2016 10:52 AM, "[email protected]" <[email protected]> wrote: Lucien, many thanks for your help. I am ashtonished. It is incredible that a great rig as the K3S doesnt have the simpler debouncing circuit on the key input, input obviously available for all mechanical kind of key, so with potential bounces. This afternoon I have written to elecraft support informing them about this problem.73 Ian IK4EWX ----Messaggio originale---- Da: [email protected] Data: 19-giu-2016 18.37 A: <[email protected]> Ogg: Re: [Elecraft] K3S losing swr-wattmeters indications on tx - please help Yes, both my K3 and a K3s do this when I key them with my bugs or with my straight key. Even my K2's will behave strangely, though not quite as bad as the K3 and s. It's not a problem with the rig; it's just a contact bounce issue, so you'll just need a debouncing circuit. Either an external keyer (most of them have debouncing circuitry in them) or you can home-brew one. There are a couple good circuits in the list archives. A capacitor across the bug terminals will help, say a .1 uf, but beware that it'll key the rig momentarily when you first plug it in as the cap charges. 73, LS W5QD -- View this message in context: http://elecraft.365791.n2.nabble.com/K3S-losing-swr-wattmeters-indications-on-tx-please-help-tp7618984p7618995.html Sent from the Elecraft mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ______________________________________________________________ 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 Message delivered to [email protected] ______________________________________________________________ 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 Message delivered to [email protected] ______________________________________________________________ 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 Message delivered to [email protected]
