G'day all, I support the proposal having this at least as an option which would be logical for folks having external equipment with different time delays where the sequence could otherwise be started without intention.
73 Len/SM7BIC Hello Elcrafters, it was tested that KEY OUT port (rear panel of K3) is not in CW PTT mode acting as PTT OUT (how was wrongly supposed to be) and this was confirmed by Elecraft as intentional behavior but that if there will be some feedback/requests from customers, maybe will be possible to set this in Menu sometimes later. Now - in CW mode - KEY OUT port is activated by pressing of the Key even if VOX(QSK) is off and K3 is in pure PTT mode. This pressing of the Key is activating Sidetone, TX LED and KEY OUT going to GND. No RF is going out - it is OK - but the rest of system (linears, transverters, preamp relays on tower,...) is going to TX and back. Only by unwanted touching of the Key without PTT on. (On many trasceivers is only sidetone generated by pressing the Key to check pitch for zero-beat tuning but no one I had on the table was activating the rest of the system by any port...) So wish is like that: - possibility to set KEY OUT as real PTT OUT in CW when K3 is in PTT mode it means no activity on KEY OUT without PTT IN or XMIT active (when K3 is in PTT mode) This "wish" is only about CW PTT mode, in any VOX/QSK or SSB PTT it can be as it is. _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: [email protected] You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
