Hi,

I went back to using an external keyer just because of the clumsy operation of the built-in keyer in my V3. The uBitX then sees straight key operation regardless of what is outside the radio or what I am doing at my fingertips:)


The lil processor in the radio is overloaded to my way of thinking. It is 'almost' good enough'. The suggestion of using a serial display will slow down the display and there have already been complaints about that. I have some serial displays and I may try one to see if it is tolerable. Some CW ops have reported improvements by tweaking the resistor values for the analog keyer pin. A search of messages or the files section should turn up that approach. Use of a processor with more resources sounds like a better idea. It will cost a little more, of course. "Cost creep" is a real thing.

I have a much different approach to the entire enterprise and *if* I get it completed and *if* it works I will publish the results. My silly ideas are to rearrange the existing blocks with other existing blocks. CW operation should not be an afterthought. Much of the rig in my mind is borrowed from the uBitX design. Some of those blocks are inspired by 'other' radios. No, Kentucky, not vacuum tubes <sly grin>.
