Your are absolutely right Jim and that is the way I tune my amp using the Vibroplex paddle sending dots at 40 wpm and using the PEP wattmeter of my PalStar antenna tuner to get maximun ouput Even when I am on SSB I do that as well after enabled the feature that I can send morse with the mode switch on SSB,its like having a pulser inside the K3. No need to add any "pulser" in the firmware. Happy new year eve for all. AD4C

I think the software "feature" you want is already in the K3. Use, the CW mode, adjust the keyer to 30 WPM or so, and you have a 50% duty cycle pulser - just hold down the "dot" paddle. If you want a lower duty cycle, simply tweak the "weight" option until you get what you want. If you have a monitor scope, or a general purpose scope that covers up to 30 MHz or so, you can use it to measure the on-off ratio. - Jim, KL7CC Richard Thorpe wrote: > There is a company out there that makes a little devise for tuning tube HF > amplifier finals.
