Hello  to the Group!

I am another one  very proud owner of a KWM-2 which I am using
since a couple of weeks ago. I operate only CW and I found
two little problems :

1- Given my slow speed of  sending   ( abt 20 wpm) the VOX delay,
    coming from TX to RX, seems to be too short,  even at the
    maximum  of the potentiometer. This puts an enormous
    burden into the TX/RX relays and I, frankly, do not love it.

2- I am using a  narrow band pass audio filter  at the phones jack
    and I notice that all stations  answer me about 800 Hz above
    my calling frequency.

I would appreciate   your  help and comments, namely on stating
what time  delay  could be normally expected from the maximum
VOX delay (point  #1) and the adjustments  needed to fix the tuning
problem (point #2).

Thank you very much.
