CW Keyer

K7EZ Roger
 

The internal keyer for CW does not seem right,
the weight and ratio are off and it sounds terrible.
Has anyone else experienced this, and is there a way to correct it?

Roger,

The internal keyer has been an issue since the start of the X1M.? Xeigu never fixed the issue, probably in the firmware and they never released the source code so that other could fix the issue.? I don't even like the sounds when using a straight key.

You may try an external keyer and see if that helps ?

What we have noticed with the Chinese equipment is that there is little to zero after sale assistance of any kind but we have noticed that some of the issues raised on the email reflectors were addressed in their newer models, so at least they are listening, just not responding in a friendly manner.? This was especially true with the Baofeng UV5R.? At least major manufacturers converse with you.

Wish I had a solution for you.

John is right, the keyer was never quite right.? Different firmware versions tried to address the complaints, but I don't think any of them really did.? ?As I recall, new firmware would fix some things and break others.? ?You might try a few different firmware versions and find one you like.? ?I'm trying to figure out how to upload the versions I have to the group's "Files" section...

Thanks for the reply John, a external keyer works fine but would be nice to use the one internal.
Its my first Xiegu, had similar experience with YouKits.
Fun little rigs but no support except from other hams.

From the old Yahoo groups files: There is a place on the main board where you can adjust the sidetone and mic level, see image below.?? I never tried it, I'm still learning Morse...still...

Lee,

I adjusted mine several years ago, AFAIK it only controls the volume which was ear piercing on my unit. ?My issue is the side tone “breaking up”, thoughts at first was a dirty key.... nope.
