The K2 certainly has a maximum length of 24 characters you can send at one time. I have never checked if the K3 accepts a longer string. But again I would have thought most contest exchanges, even CQs, could be accommodated within 24 characters. ----- Julian, G4ILO http://www.g4ilo.com/ G4ILO's Shack http://www.ham-directory.com/ Ham Directory -- View this message in context: http://n2.nabble.com/Issues-with-cw-keying-line-in-N1MM-with-K3--tp475061p475784.html Sent from the Elecraft mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: [email protected] You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
