[Elecraft] Keyboard Issue - I wonder how many folks have had buyers

[Marc Veeneman]

Hah!  That did it, Paul.  Now I’m not suffering character loss, even the double “l” in hello gets sent every time I’ve tried it.  The quick brown fox is happy, too.

Oddly, in the several times I’ve typed the typical quick brown fox, I haven’t seen the data delay either.

What a difference!

It seems that you have revealed a way to avoid the data loss problem.  Thank you very much. For the first time I feel confident enough to use the K3/P3/SVGA keyboard in live CW QSOs.
