CWX delay too long

stefano mancini

Hi, on my 6400 using the CWX everything had always gone well, but since yesterday the delay in disconnecting the transmission has become much longer, about 5 seconds.
the DELAY is at 600. I may have inadvertently touched some keys on the keyboard.
What could be the cause?

What version of software?

You also want to check the TX Delay setting, it should be set to 40ms. As well, the CW Delay should be about 20-40ms.

In your posting, I am not sure exactly what value you have set to 600. Which screen is that in?

Mike he is probably talking about the delay on the SmartSDR panel above the speed and side tone settings. Delay values 0-2000.

That said, you mention TX delay settings. That brings up a question as I was just talking to a friend yesterday that is having problems with a week old PGXL. The dream station article that Ken posted talks about adding a 40ms delay but I believe the PGXL documentation says if you are connected via network that its handled automatically.

I did not dig into that as I dont have a PGXL but I wanted to find out more about the delay for my own use but didn't see anything in the manual about TX delay. Maybe I missed it. Can you point me in the right direction?

EDIT: Found it in the manual. Was looking in the wrong document
