[Elecraft] P3 SVGA; chars randomly omitted during Tx

[Richard Fjeld]

Paul,

To be specific, a RS232 to USB adapter is connected from the P3 to my computer, but I do not have the computer turned on when I am doing digital modes using the SVGA.  I can try pulling this connection at the P3.

The speed I have my K3 set to is 16 wpm.  

As to if the missed characters show in the K3 sub display,  I am quite sure they do not, but I will make sure.  I know I have seen them omitted and the K3 display is the only place I could have seen this. 

I catch them being missed audibly as I monitor the tone on CW.   I have had it happen on PSK31 also, and the K3 display is the only way I would know that.

I hope you can correct it as it makes using the message memories undependable.  In the meantime, I will pull the RS232 connection and try it.  I would think if it happens for me, it would happen for you.

Rich, n0ce

  A space either before or after should not cause any odd behavior.  The only
  time I have seen this problem is when a computer was connected to the P3/K3
  and the K3 terminal utility was running.  But I remember you stated that the
  computer was not connected to the P3/K3 serial line.  

  Just curious, how fast is your WPM set to?  And do the missed characters
  show in the K3 sub display?
