Hi Dave,
We planned it this way :) I also recommend that you
insert an "IM" prosign (..--) at the end of any message
used in DATA modes to truncate the usual CW-to-DATA
timeout from 4 seconds to about 1 second. The IM character
is ignored in CW mode.
Perfect! Guess I missed that little tidbit in the manual!
Works great too. I have now changed my message to include
the "IM" prosign, and it cuts off instantly--doesn't even
seem like 1 second--more like a few milliseconds.
Previously I had been manually hitting the "XMIT" button to
override the delay. Too bad it doesn't work on CW, as I
also have a "CQ" message. Although I'm not typically a
"CQer", but I've found that when the band is quiet
(particularly 30 meters) calling CQ can liven things up now
and then!
Thanks for the tip Wayne. Have you thought about having an
"operating hints" class for K3 owners? ( : Maybe at Dayton
over wine and cheese!
