I often use a footswitch to hold the PTT closed during an over, mostly to stop my clunky old amplifier dropping out until the end of the over. However if I release the PTT footswith while still sending CW (relying on the rig's VOX to continue holding the PTT), the K3 drops part of the morse character being sent and blanks the sub-VFO display briefly.
Can anyone else replicate this? [If you don't have a footswitch, I guess the microphone PTT or front panel XMIT button will have the same effect.] It only seems to happen if I release the PTT at the very instant the rig is sending: if I'm careful, I can release the PTT in between characters with no ill effects. 73 Gary ZL2iFB ______________________________________________________________ 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
