Not on my K3 (1594) using internal keyer and FW 02.34
Exactly same in QSK, semi BK or PTT.

By George, you're right! No, I never noticed it, but now that you
point it out and I'm testing it -- sure enough. The difference is
detectable to the ear, at 25 WPM anyway. A 'scope would tell you
exactly what the difference is. Should be an easy bug to track
down and fix (he said glibly, knowing nothing). :-)
Put it on the list!

Subject: [Elecraft] K3 Keying
Has anyone else noticed that there is a substantial difference
in the mark
space ratio of the keying dependent on whether you operate
QSK/semi break in
compared with manual transmit, eg push the transmit button on
the front
panel or use a foot switch to enter transmit.
The QSK/semi break in are similar but they are much lighter than
in the
constant transmit mode.
I did notice when I first got the K3 that the QSK/semi break in
was light
and I had to compensate for that in my keyer. Likewise the built
in keyer
seems to have a default setting to cater for the light keying.
No great
drama - just an observation.
Just for general information I have just wired up my K3 to my
FL7000 linear
for auto band change as per the directions from W4TV back on 23
May. It
works great but the tx inhibit is unusable in other than QSK.
However I
don't need it for proper operation and have turned it back off
in the Config
setting.
