[Elecraft] XV50 transverter CW use

[Don Wilhelm]

  Roy,

Be certain you have T-R set to HOLD.  See page 89 of the manual.  The 
T-R setting determines the delay, and the 8R hold or normal settings 
will influence the behavior of the 8R signal (that signal controls the 
K2 "keyout" timing.

At what code speeds - yes at slow speeds, the relays will "chatter" no 
matter what the settings, but at 20+ wpm, the relays should hold in 
between characters.

The K2 uses silent electronic T/R switching, but the XVxxx transverters 
use relays for T/R functions.
