The 37 WPM jitter issue is actually related to VOX timing (with either QSK or semi-breakin). If you hold the PTT line closed while transmitting, via a foot switch, software-controlled PTT, or an external keyer like a WinKey with a PTT output, you can send as fast as you like, no CW jitter, but you give up QSK and semi-breakin. This works whether you have VOX ON or OFF.
For more details, see this post from about 4 years ago: http://lists.f5mzn.org/pipermail/support/2013-November/083384.html The new KSYN3A synthesizer is highly recommended though, especially for QRQ CW. Also, what firmware version are you running? 73, Bob, N6TV On Tue, Sep 5, 2017 at 8:19 PM, K9MA <[email protected]> wrote: > I just learned of the "37 wpm" problem with the original K3 (non-S), which > I have.
