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. <unquote> You have my vote - I have already sent email to them on this. At first it seemed that they did not understand. However, I am not holding my breath on this one. The KEY OUT switch (FET) is from the inverted state of the main receive control line. So your amplifiers and transverters (etc) are keyed up whenever you are **not receiving** - which is not quite the same thing as transmitting (!) So when you program the keyer messages it turns on this output. When you load a new MCU program in, it will key up your equipment for 3 minutes continuously (I will not do that one again !) Anyway, I think a wiring change is required for this one. It would be easy to change the logic to be: not_receive AND transmit by one cut-and-jumper 73 Ken -- View this message in context: http://n2.nabble.com/K3%3A-new-to-wish-list---KEY-OUT-setting-in-menu-%28to-be-more-like-PTT-OUT%29-for-CW-PTT-mode-tp467486p1485391.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.
