[Elecraft] K3 keying

[Barry Simpson]

No one has commented on the apparent shortening of the first dit  as
illustrated in the QST review, Figure 1.

 

My K3 keying does not have that issue as far as I can judge from listening
on a separate receiver.

 

What is does have is a disparity between keying weighting between MOX
(either front panel switch or foot switch) and VOX/QSK.

 

Compared with MOX which has characters about the same length as my other
rigs on my keyer's 50% weighting setting (ie it is about right) the
characters in VOX and QSK are shortened.

 

I simply overcome it by altering my weighting to 58% and not using MOX. I
note that Elecraft deal with the same issue by having the weighting set at
1.15 in the config menu.

 

Not a real problem - just an observation.

 

Looking forward to giving the K3 a good workout this weekend.
