Straight key setup on QMX+ FW23


 

Hi All.


Doing initial setup on my QMX+, FW23.


Keyer set to straight, mode set to TIP, my key is permanently keying the rig. The same key works fine on my QCX+, same settings.


Is anyone else seeing that behaviour at FW23, or should I go and hunt for the short?

Should have said...mono plug.

Mono plug may be contacting both tip and ring contacts inside the Q?

Hi Roger

There's a bug report open, that the "tip" and "ring" are reversed on the straight key setting. So for now try "ring" as the straight setting even though you've got a mono plug (means it ought really to be "tip"). See if that works?
