Excuse my adding to this thread late in the game...
I just got my ubitx going within the last week.? I'm a CW man and really want to use it for CW, but trying to key it is really awkward. In
particular, it seems that when I first press the key, shifting it into CW transmit mode as well as starting beginning a transmission, it
generates an extra dit at the start, so my intended first dit or dah element comes out as didit or ditdah.
I think I read someone's post that suggested irregular keying might be due to dirty key contacts, but I tried this with two straight keys
that I have used regularly with other rigs with no problem. Also I find the same thing happens when I use a homebrew keyer?
(Arduino-based!) that uses an open collector transistor as the keying element - I'm quite sure this has no switch-bounce problem.
I think I have seen suggestions for hardware changes as well as firmware changes. It sounds like the KD8CEC firmware should
probably be the next direction to pursue.? Is that likely to do away with my CW problem, and will it also require hardware changes?
