CW Mode Macro Issue - Version 4.301 64 Bit


 

Hello,
I dug through the documentation that I could find but haven't found a solution.? Regardless of whether I use the default or customized macros, the sbitx app in CW mode only keys the first word in the macro text.?
?
For example, F1 for CQ is supposed to send a full line of text but stops after the first 'CQ.'? The reader is sensitive enough to always pick up noise even though I have a clear slice of band to myself.? I also verify against online band activity and with one of my other rigs.? Is the background noise being picked up between words and terminating the macro??
?
I've gone through the majority of the onscreen settings for CW mode but I'm not finding anything relevant.? Decreasing the BW decreases the gibberish caused by noise a bit but hasn't resolved the issue.
?
Thoughts?? It's probably something simple.
?


 

I plugged into a dummy load and the macros have the same behavior.


 

Kevin, good diagnosis - it is interaction between CW_DELAY and your WPM setting. The receiver "break-in" is interrupting (and terminating) the macro or contents of the keyboard buffer. A fix to let macros complete is coming soon.

Oh, that's good news.? I figured that it was a PEBKAC issue.?
Thank you!


 

Turn up your CW_DELAY to about 500 and it should work.

I haven't tinkered with cw delay and the value already shows 500.? I think that's the default value.


 

I find at 13 WPM I have to turn my delay up to 700, Yep I'm slow..... But I'm an original "Coded General" HIHI Just never have gotten good at copying.?

V4.4 will be released before the end of the month which corrects these issues. We are currently in testing phase right now with the early adopter on discord.

Interesting. I have not used a straight key at all nor have I slowed down below 17WPM to see this crop up. I have used it from 17 thru 25 with perfect operation. Thank you for the intel on how to get the slow speeds to work until JJ and the team roll out the revision. I am a lite extra BTW (that is what the older Extra class ops called me when I upgraded with only 5WPM code). HIHI. I just fell in love with CW and built my speed from on air use over the years. It is honestly the hardest way to learn from what I have found. If I could do it over, I would definitely have done many things differently to be honest.?

13WPM is nothing to sneeze at! Your doing great. Maybe we can work each other soon on the air. ? I always try to match speeds with the caller when I am out working POTA ops so if you hear me running 21 and call me at 13, expect to hear me slow down the keyer for you. I dont mind a bit to match speeds.?
