First off, when you use the CAT command the radio is not decoding transmitted CW at all, it is simply echoing the ASCII text you sent to it in the command. Second, the only transmitted CW the K3/K3S can decode is keying from the paddle input to the radio's internal CW keyer. Keying input from a straight key, a computer or an external keyer, whether it comes into the radio on the DTR line of the radio control port or via the CW Key jack, does not get decoded. 73, Rich VE3KI ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to arch...@mail-archive.com
