[Elecraft] Default K3 transmit delay may be too short for slow QRO amplifiers

[Grant Youngman]

I’m confused.  If you’re in the “field”, are you keying a high power amp with relay T/R switching??   Is it possible the problem is associated with the way your computer software keys the K3?  Have you tested “all other rigs”?  Perhaps it’s a “system” issue? How does your system behave when keying the K3 directly— e.g., no computer, just a key — manual or internal keyer.

The logger that does CW keying is TR4W. No keying compensation helps to achieve correct CW weight if TX Delay in K3 is set to say 20ms and CW speed used is above 30WPM. Dependency of CW weight from TX Delay is only inherent in K3. All other rigs do not have this dependency.
