Re: Question: Does the power icon go on and off when you are sending CW?


 

The power meter should "pulse" on with every dot and dash, and will go off between them at lower CW speeds.
This can be controlled with the "Tx->Rx hang time" setting for the "Pwr/SWR display".
?
The CW keyer should never "go to sleep" while sending.? This suggests you may have RF coming back on your feedline that interferes with the keyer.?? This can happen even with a well-matched antenna from "common-mode currents" that arise from imbalances in the antenna system, and often happens with EFHW antennas (and others).? Try adding a common-mode choke (or several ferrite beads) to your feedline, or to the cable between your radio and tuner and see if the problem goes away.
