Subject: [TenTec] OMNI VI and EXTERNAL LOGIKEY K3 KEYER QUESTION


     I understand some transmitters do not perfectly  reflect the keying 
supplied to them and tend to shorten dots and dashes from the  keyer.  Any idea 
what, if any, correction (plus x number of milliseconds)  is appropriate for the 
OMNI VI.  I know I probably should be satisfied with  the internal keyer, but 
have a K3 and must play with it.  
Hi Jim,
I have used a (Logikey) K-1 with both a Corsair II and Argosy and found no correction necessary.  When visiting 
another station (i.e. for contest) I have found about 5 ms. of correction necessary for ICOM and Yaesu 
gear.  I have no experience with Kenwood or Elecraft and the K-1.  
I WOULD NOT USE an internal keyer except in an emergency.  I just don't like the timing compromises
which seem to a part of all of them.
