Garbled CW (6400/Maestro C/3.8.23)

in FLEX-6000 Signature Series
Hi,

in some rare occasions QSO partners report garbled CW from my remote operated Flex 6400. With a public Web-SDR I was able to verify that. It's only when keying with a paddle.

When the CW is garbled, symptoms are:
- Signal is ok when keying with N1MM
- Signal is ok when keying with Software (e.g. CWType for CQ-loops)
- Keying with a paddle connected to the Maestro, the local sound is clear and ok, but the transmitted signal is rubbish.

Workaround: Restarting the 6400. After a reboot everything is fine for several days. Until it happens again...

I do not want to monitor my signal permanently. Is there anything I can do to always have a clean signal when using the paddle?

    Try setting a higher CW delay value. When operating remotely, I often need to increase it to 300 or 350 ms.

Rich Text Editor. To edit a paragraph's style, hit tab to get to the paragraph menu. From there you will be able to pick one style. Nothing defaults to paragraph. An inline formatting menu will show up when you select text. Hit tab to get into that menu. Some elements, such as rich link embeds, images, loading indicators, and error messages may get inserted into the editor. You may navigate to these using the arrow keys inside of the editor and delete them with the delete or backspace key.
