For example, I have the WinKey programmed for 20 ms lead and 180 ms tail times, which provides smooth operation (no amp relay dropout between words) at the speeds I normally operate. I haven't tried keying my amp yet using the K3 PTT simply because I wasn't aware of a programmable "tail" time. BTW, I just checked the PTT RLS feature (I'm using the latest Beta FW, 3.10), but the dial ranges from 0 to 30 only-- I presume this is in milliseconds.) 73, Chuck NI0C ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
