CW settings for delay

Steve Killeen

Just got my 6600 and setting up my paddle. 

Can someone guide me on the following settings: What should they be set for ? I operate using N1MM+ and a Paddle

Delay ?
TX Filter low cut and high cut ?
RX equalizer ?

I'm also using the ATU and leave it ON.

Thanks a bunch

Be ready for loud T/R relay clicking on CW if you need to leave the ATU engaged. So, as opposed to Elecraft, Icom with the IC-7610, and Kenwood, Flex Radio hasn’t been able to figure out how to provide silent pin diode T/R switching when the ATU is engaged. They claim to do it to minimize spurious; however, the K3 is one of the cleanest radios around.

I noticed the ATU engaging in and off when the tx delay is at zero. So I added some delay and seems ok . Yes I can remove the ATU from the circuit. At first I thought my rig was broken with all this relay switching. What are others using as far as delay settings ? Thanks

Thanks Joe   I'm not running an amplifier. I ajusted to 300ms anyways and works good this way.

Or, if you need to use the ATU when operating full break QSK, you can use a separate RX antenna, which will allow for full break QSK in excess of 30 WPM.

Will do

Yeah, the 6600 is a delight in CW under the conditions that you describe. However, I had a 7300 and the clicking in the 6600 with the ATU engaged is as bad or worse than the one in the 7300. Unacceptable for a radio that is three times more expensive! 73, Robert-KP4Y/W4
