Hi,

I observe the similar issue from time to time (when using external cw paddle).

Cheers,

Hi Viktor!

I think it is a problem with key contacts.? If you pass through the contacts of the 5-10 mA DC? at the moment of contact, it destroys the thin oxide film and makes the contact more reliable.
The necessary changes in the diagram are shown in the Appendix.

key problem:?
Hans, what do you think about this?
 

Hans, is there a solution to my problem?
 

Having the same problem no matter what paddle I use. Haven't tried an external keyer since the mono cord from the keyer shorts the rigs jack, unless I'm doing something wrong.

Hi A1aop,

The solution to differing standards of key wiring has being reported before.
The solution for straight keys / Keyers is to build a short adaptor lead, a 3.5mm line mono jack socket connected to just the Tip & Sleeve
of a stereo 3.5mm jack plug and all is resolved, with the correct selection also in setup menu.
And you can retain the use of the key with your previous radio(s) interchangeably.

Hope this helps, Alan.

Thanks Alan, sounds like the thing to do on the short term until the bug is worked out with the keyer.
