Hi Ron,
?
Thanks for the suggestion of where to look for the cw_delay upper limit.? ?I had seen that code at line 655.? I guess establishes the messages to the zBITX LCD.? But I really did not dig into trying to decode the message format.? I was looking for a const parameter somewhere.? ?I will experiment with altering those values.
?
I appreciate what you are saying about how extending the Semi-QSK hang time can miss the beginning other guys transmission.? ?Get that down to a couple of ms rather than making it longer would be ideal.? ?However, with the zBITX polling for key-down in the middle of the busy time tick triggered ui_tick() function, it is not really possible.? The processor gets busy doing other stuff that is being called from that same time tick triggered ui_tick() function and cannot always respond to the next key-down event fast enough.? If I can get introduce GPIO Interrupts at the key/paddle input pins, then it could put all else on hold and immediately respond to those key-down inputs.? If that can be done, then it should be possible to get it very close to true QSK.? (Even though I do not see the zBITX ever being a contest machine, that sure would be nice to have).
?
Thanks for looking at this and thanks for your comments.? ?I'm busy with a customer job right now, so it will be a few days before I can get back into this.
