I tried using my Navy Flame Proof key with a QCX-Mini last night and noticed that it was keeping the cadence slow, I don't know how to describe it, but when I tried to key fast it felt slow. Is there a good setup for using a straight key? Using a Paddle in IambicB works great. Any tips would be appreciated.

I'm not sure what you mean. There is a setting in the keyer menu for straight key. The cadence is established by the movement of your wrist and finger.

It seems spongy like it's forcing the dit and dah spacing if that makes sense.

Is it possible that is the sidetone sounding a little soft?? Maybe you could record a little of the sound and post it so we could get a better idea.

I'll make a video later when I get time.

I also take from this single poster, that no one else has had this experience? If so I can get around it by using a paddle, I can also try using a bug.

I haven't heard of this issue before, but I have experience different audio anomalies with different headphones.? Sometimes it's just the impedance of the headphones, or the connector. I have trouble with those ones that have the four rings. I also had a problem with a pair of Sennheisers that had super long cables. They picked up all kinds of RF and were almost impossible to use.

No problems with a straight key on any of my QCX's. The only time I had a issue was when using a particular amplified Bluetooth speaker. Even though I was plugged into the line input, there was a discernable latency.

I wonder if that's the cause of the OP's issue. A simple check with normal (not Bluetooth etc) headphones plugged directly into the audio out jack should reveal if it is.?

Cheers,?

Joe,

I haven’t experienced this problem using a straight key. However, something similar occurs with a paddle and Iambic B with autospace turned on. Maybe autospace?
