I see a number of topics addressing various issues with the Keyer but after trying all the various solutions I can't seem to solve mine. I have a MFJ-564b that seems to work flawlessly on my Elecraft KX3. If I measure the resistance and continuity of the contacts at the phone jack end, with no pressing of the paddles there is basically infinite resistance. However that being said, about 2 out of 10 times when I power up the QCX it is just stuck in sending steady Dah's. This only clears when I tap either of the paddles several times. Then the second thing that happens is if I hold down the Right Paddle to get a steady stream of Dah's it from time to time inserts a Dit, with no pressing of the Dit paddle.?
? I've tried different cables, made sure I have a dummy load connected and verified I'm in CW test mode. I've gone over the construction and looked for bridged or almost bridged connections and I don't see any. Also have double checked the components and they seem to be correctly positioned. Receive works well and is very sensitive. In transmit I get a solid 5 Watts out when connected to a LiFO battery. I'm starting to come down on the side of demonic possession but before calling an exorcist might anyone have a suggestion as to where to look for this vexing problem??
