I have never had a hot switching issue with the K2, the timing is more than adequate even with TR set to 0 I have even tweaked my K2 for faster QSK Perhaps Wayne could comment on the timings but I have never seen an issue here nor have I a problem with Keyclicks with either radio in QSK mode with the Acom 1k. I have checked for clicks as they are most annoying BTW the 1000MP is not good in the click department if unmodified.
The acom 1k's CPU controller will actually take the amp off line if it detects hot switching 73 Brendan EI6IZ On Thu, 2006-05-11 at 18:07 +0100, Dave wrote: > Hi Guys > > I don't have an Acom amplifier, but a friend with one sent the following: > ----------------------------------- > With the FT1000MP + ACOM, if you want to use fast changeover / QSK, it > is recommended that you use the returned ACOM 'ready' output to > 'release' the MPs RF. > > ie, the MP has a TX enable line which can be triggered by the ACOM. > This avoids any hot-switching. > > I suspect the K2 in QSK mode will changeover much faster than the 2-3 mS > of the vacuum relay in the ACOM. > ------------------------------------------- > 73 Dave, G4AON > K2 #1892 > _______________________________________________ > Elecraft mailing list > Post to: [email protected] > You must be a subscriber to post to the list. > Subscriber Info (Addr.
