[Elecraft] CW-to-DATA

[Dick Dievendorff]

Hi, Ron.

If you're sending with a paddle, you need to send "..--"

If you're sending with software (the KY command), you can send KY followed
by an ASCII EOT character (0x04) followed by a semicolon to stop sending.

The K3 Utility terminal page uses this technique.  If you're sending from
one of the K3's CW memories, make the last character in that memory the ..--
character, and when the memory is "played", carrier should drop.

Two questions:

1st.  While using the internal CW-to Data mode I notice a 4 sec idle
transmit period before exiting to receive mode. Is there other way besides,
sending "..--" at the end of your tx, to switch to receive?  I think 4
seconds of idle state is way too much and do not really like to have to send
..-- after each transmission.  

2nd.  What has anyone found out about tuning in a PSK signal that may not be
covered in the manual?
It seems like some stations can be easily tuned fin while others are much
harder.  I have noticed that Digipan copies better then the K3's decode but
it may be my inability to get the tune right.
