[Elecraft] CW Rise Time?

[John Huffman]

Paul -

My K3 SN 2533 is running FW 3.19.  If the rise is 2.5ms, I sure don't 
want to try anything shorter.

On the Orion messing with the weighting didn't solve the problem, just 
the ris/fall time.  I'll set the K3 weighting to .90 and see if that helps.

I wonder if the change in rise to 2.5ms has effected the key line to the 
amp?

Thanks for the info.

John,

I found that in the last K3 F/W release (or perhaps the one just before 
it), the K3's CW rise/fall time is now roughly 2.5 ms compared to the 
previous 5-6 ms.  I had to verify my scope settings on another time base 
to ensure I had not misinterpreted the measured result.
