2.9.1 CW Still Broken

Just upgraded to 2.9.1 on a 6400 and the CW mode is still broken. I just called a couple DX stations on 15 Meters and couldn't send a coherent call. Luckily after a few attempts the DX figured it out.

The only way I can fix this is the reboot the radio.

This is really frustrating!!!

    They apparently no longer fix CW bugs anymore.

    And no comment from anyone at Flex...

    Same issue here 6400m

    Yeah, I believe it is a well known, long-standing, problem affecting many CW operators.

    I don't understand why there has been no fix applied lo these many years.

    Perhaps there is no remedy and we'll all have to resort to external keyers...

    I believe that folks have still had issues with external keyers otherwise I would have gone that route some time ago

    You may be correct, but I haven't noticed a problem with a straight key so my assumption is that an external keyer would work.

    I have not tried one yet.

    What percentage of CW operators experience this?

    If the percentage is low then I might be able to understand Flex's lack of action to resolve the problem.

    On the other hand, If the majority see the same problem then I see no reason why this should not be addressed and fixed.

    Can anyone answer my question?

    I have the same issue with CW, good to know that you can re-boot and correct the problem. Hopefully, the issue will be identified and corrected.
