Sorry for the thread drift, but, has there ever been an investigation into response time of hitting the PTT and beginning to speak? Occasionally I hear the first syllable being lost and I've wondered if this is due to time delays in the equipment or the user, or both. Brings back memories of

Peter, I am assuming that you are using a K3. On my K2 I use a headset. I have a hand key and a set of paddles hooked to the K2. On SSB I merely depress the hand key or the dot paddle to key the transmitter. Don't know if this works on the K3. 73, George NC5G Which handheld PTT switch do you

Which handheld PTT switch do you like and where did you get it? Did it already have a RCA connector on it or did you have to rig one yourself? I'm in the middle of the CQ WW contest and finding I could really use this. Thanks W0VLL __

Although I made my own applications, Bob Heil has a nice foot switch that works as a "stomp to talk" switch. Also Granger has an assortment of foot switches although the may a bit over kill for the application. For my station, I made a pigtail using some small coax like RG-177 or 174, {can't

I always use VOX, directional microphones, and headphones. I can't imagine depressing a footswitch every time I transmit. I wouldn't want to tie up one hand for a PTT switch in a contest either. 73, Jim N7US -Original Message- Not a direct answer to your question, but I use a foot

Not a direct answer to your question, but I use a foot pedal with a headset/boom mic combination. That way, my hands are completely free for logging and making station adjustments. 73 de, Ian, KM4IK On Oct 24, 2015 11:32 AM, "Peter Pauly" wrote: > Which handheld PTT switch do

I have seen that with both PTT and VOX in Ham and commercial operations. The VOX issue is well known. In PTT some operators develop the habit of starting to speak before fully depressing the PTT switch. I've watched operators do that repeatedly without realizing it even after they were aware that

The original meaning of the acronym PTT was "Push, Then Talk." Somewhere in history, the comma was dropped and "Then" became "To.":-) I had a colleague [retired Col] who essentially never mastered "Point and Click" regardless of how many times I explained, "First point to the 'thing', then
