Great point Randy! The untenable fact now is that those using clean transmitters (esp K3) are clearly at a disadvantage when running because they're just sitting ducks, i.e. inviting someone to get r

Ok, I will name names. TO7A in FM gets the KEY CLIX AWARD FOR 2016! He was not only massively loud [a good thing], but his clicks were absolutely terrible. At one point, I told him "om bad clix", but
With SDR and panadapters becoming more and more used in contests, why not a wall of shame where screen shots of CW clicks and SSB splatter can be posted? 73 de Björn, SM0MDG SE0X ____________________
I support this suggestion. I am definitely warming up my panadapter. 73, Barry N1EU _______________________________________________ CQ-Contest mailing list CQ-Contest@contesting.com http://lists.cont
My notes on the contest contain two items along this line: Buzz on IK7RVY His signal reminded me of my early days back in the 60s when we beginners had code practice kits that were nothing more than
Barry, K3 can be set to click. Just set the rise and/or fall times too short i.e. sharp and listen k# click. K3 owners have a big responsibility in setting the radio correctly so it serves the owner
George, others .. Please consider the panadapter may show strong signals as wide. Most web sdr receivers show strong signals wide. Please verify the wide signals that they actually are wide. In case
Hey all: I do think if someone has a dirty signal ...whether clicks on cw, or "splatter" on SSB ..first thing is to let the op know. If they don't show any interest ...then ..yeah ..put it out there.
Citing magazine articles I can not get is not helpful One of you complainers, who knows something, post THE WAY TO ADJUST TO AVOID CLICKS. Simple directions. Thanks, Charly -- Charly, HS0ZCW ________

Not GOOD ones, and not if you know how to read the display. The P3 is quite accurate, and compares quite well with my $1,000 ANAN 10E (as long as the 10E is not overloaded). Most web sdr receivers sh
Please consider the panadapter may show strong signals as wide. Most web sdr receivers show strong signals wide. That is normal. Any station 60db above the noise appears, and is, wider at the noise
Maybe I'm missing something but there is no rise time setting in the K3. 73, Barry N1EU _______________________________________________ CQ-Contest mailing list CQ-Contest@contesting.com http://lists.
OK I have read this kind of texts: http://elecraft.365791.n2.nabble.com/CW-Rise-Time-td3218979.html I do not have a K3. In case K3 does not have a setting for CW edges, I am surprised. This means the
Most contesters turn on their shiny (many $$$) transceivers put it in CW mode and go to it. I feel the manufacturers should make sure the rig does not click and should have instructions in the manual
Well, I've heard a few stations going REALLY fast. 50+. Particularly the ones that speed up for 5NN. But I suspect the problem isn't actually key clicks as such. Just like the phone contests are full

Which raises the point, why do manufacturers allow a setting that will knowingly cause interference? If they provide the setting, and know what it does because they have implemented it, can't they te
Can we please just stop all this nonsense about making a K3 click? Maybe there was one errant firmware release 6 years ago that was quickly fixed. But the K3 has been about THE cleanest cw transmitte
Is there a possibiity in K3 to upgrade the firmware? I presume it is much more difficult than a setting in a menu somewhere. There is NO setting for keying rise time, and there never has been. The de
