Chuck (and others), the original purpose of the PTT RLS feature had nothing to do with keying linear amplifiers. It was included in the firmware for the purpose of delaying the key-off time to allow audio to exit the DSP before the transmission drops. This is necessary on modes such as AMTOR and Pactor, otherwise the last part of the transmission is missed off. The timing is in milliseconds, the typical setting should be around 12.
73 Dave, G4AON K3/100 #80 ----------------- 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:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
