wayne has announced some small rit in the past
wayne at Apr.28, 2011
If you use QRQ mode (high-speed CW/ultra-fast break-in), you'll notice
that the latest firmware provides a temporary solution to the problem
of having to turn off QRQ mode in order to use SPLIT, RIT, or XIT.
I just installed KPA rev.1.38 and don't see any difference from 1.37. Both work
very well here (with K3 4.83 and KAT 1.58). I will report if I find anything
not working as expected.
KAT 1.58 removed a software bug in the KAT which meant that the KAT did not
output anything on 28MHz when the

The 'problem' with QRQ CW is that if you are running much over 60 wpm, you have
to seriously concentrate on your copy and sending. I personally, do not require
Split when operating QRQ, but I sure would love to have RIT for at least 0.5kc.
That, for me, would solve the issue. And yes, Elecraft
I would agree with Tommy, some small RIT would be helpful.
It isn't only at 60 wpm that you notice some choppiness, but anything over
30 wpm makes a difference in sending without the QRQ being on. For some
reason this is more evident when using KB

Is there a resource on the internet where you can look at different

It is hard to describe this noise because it lacks any features at all. Think
of atmospherics, like background noise that usually sits around S0 to S1 on the
S-meter, more on 80 meters in the evening. That sort of thing.

Maybe he took it back to the store where he purchased it and got a

I suggest you contact your electric utility. Most utiltiies have a
power quality department, and in general the staff are *very* well

First a clarification - if the band is below 15 meters, RTTY is LSB and
RTTY REV is USB.
You don't have to worry about that on bands above 15 meters because the
K2 automatically makes the corrective swap, but when aligning the
filters, use a band below 15 meters so as not to mix the

Not a goofy idea at all, the P3 can be used in that fashion, as can any

Unless the circuit has been changed since my radio, I seem to recall two diodes
