Felipe,

Don 't forget to put your K3 in the PTT mode by pressing and holding the VOX switch. Otherwise it won 't work.

  Hi again


  thanks for the answers. Nothing helped so far.


  changed cables and still the same.


  I guess will have to play like this.


  If anyone has any last minute suggestion I'll take it!


  thanks

    Because Winkeyer operates entirely differently from serial port CW, I think you can rule out Win-Test as a source of this problem,. The Winkeyer receives ASCII from the serial port and forms the CW internally.  

    It is most likely a K3 setting issue, and a much better place for answers is the Elecraft reflector <elecraft at mailman.qth.net>.  BTW I would start by turning off K3 QRQ - that's intended for real QRQ, up in the 60-80 WPM range

      Hi guys,


      I am in Costa Rica and I am using a K3 with win-test and my notebook with WIN7 and when I increase speed over 34 36 WPM  the CW starts to get messy, some of the caracheters I send are almost unreadable, like C is almost Y.


      I changed Keyer, was using K1EL Winkey, then I tried CW via CAT cable, and then I have my own cable with a transistor and resistor and they all do the same.


      I tried unpluging the CAT system while txing with my cable keyer and still the same.


      I am using all USB TO RS232 converters that work well with my TS590.


      I have changed into CW QRQ in K3 menu.


      is there anything else I should look at?


      thanks a million for help
