Re: [Elecraft] Which hand-held PTT switch? OT

Hi, That is routinely tested by ARRL. From the K3/100 review in January 2009 QST: Receive-transmit turnaround time (tx delay): SSB, 12 ms; FM, 9 ms. Unit is Not specified. suitable for use on AMTOR. So it's probably the user. AB2TC - Knut David Cutter wrote > Sorry for the thread drift, but,

Re: [Elecraft] Which hand-held PTT switch?

Seems like you got a lot of recommendations for a foot switch, but not too many for a hand-held switch. The one from Ron, WD4AHZ, looks nice, but the price seems pretty stiff! Seems to me something like that should only cost $10-$15 at the most, but I'm probably still "living" in the 20th

Re: [Elecraft] Which hand-held PTT switch? OT

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

Re: [Elecraft] Which hand-held PTT switch?

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 __

Re: [Elecraft] Which hand-held PTT switch?

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

Re: [Elecraft] Which hand-held PTT switch?

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

Re: [Elecraft] Which hand-held PTT switch?

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

Re: [Elecraft] Which hand-held PTT switch?

I have the Heil Proset K2 and when contesting I use VOX I did spend the cash and got the Heil trigger switch that plugs in the PTT port of the adapter set. On 10/24/2015 10:30 AM, Peter Pauly wrote: Which handheld PTT switch do you like and where did you get it? Did it already have a RCA

It's a good habit for FM repeater use as well. Give the repeater some unmodulated RF to switch itself on. 73 Bill AE6JV On 10/24/15 at 6:51 PM, k2...@kanafi.org (Phil Kane) wrote: I teach beginners to push the switch, take a breath, and then start talking. Works for VOX with some
