Re: [Elecraft] Strange CW at each button push

[Richard Day]

Thanks guys.  That is very fast response.

I have as a result of these suggestions, updated to the newest revision of
the firmware.
I had thought that the radio was giving me information through the tones,
but I couldn't find it.

I turned off the SW TONE, and that will probably do it.  I will see on my
next activation of a summit.

Thank you each of you for the help.

Richard,

Check the SW TONE menu  If you have it set to CODE nn (where nn is WPM), 
then you will get that morse when you push a button - it is a nice 
feature for sight impaired amatuers.


That can also be turned on by Holding the AFP/AN button while turning 
the KX2 on.

You may want to upgrade the firmware to version 2.89.

[Elecraft] Strange CW at each button push

[Richard Day]

On my last two SOTA activations, my KX2 appears to be working valiantly.
At some point, however, I find that I cannot push any button without it
giving me a short CW message.

I am not up on CW yet, and during a SOTA activation, there is no time to
try to understand what is happening.  It doesn't act up when at home!?

When on an activation, I merely turn the radio off and back on.  That
clears the problem temporarily.

I am on firmware rev. 02.86
