eHam Forums / CW / RE: CW sidetone delay
|

hmm...I don't notice any delay, or maybe it's so short I can't tell. When I hit the paddle, I hear instant sidetone, and key the radio simultaneously.
The only time I had a sidetone delay was when I tried running the audio through a dsp app on the PC. That drove me nuts very quickly, I guess similar to what FlexRadio users complained about.

eHam Forums / CW / RE: Ten Tec 1553 Electronic Keyer

The only thing I know is that it's not for iambic operation. Description:
A classic circuit and a nice price make this a great project for beginners or for building into extra rigs. Includes speed control, weight control (rarely offered in "simple" CMOS circuits) and sidetone pitch control. A lot of keyer for the price, it features self-completing dits and dahs for standard single-lever keyer paddles. While not designed for iambic operation, the price and reliability make the 1553 a very nice introduction to electronic CW keying. Steve |

There was a favorable write-up in the August, 2012 CQ magazine. Maybe if you can find that? "Finally among this month's features, we have a CQ Review of the Ten-Tec Model 1215 "Ten 'T' Tuner" kit. Reviewer T.J. "Skip" Arey, N2EI, says it's an excellent kit for the new builder and an excellent accessory for the experienced builder as well." Steve |

Amazon Prime is great if you buy a LOT of stuff but it's not good if your just making a couple dozen orders per year.
They make their money on the people who under utilise it, so make sure you are a heavy shopper before enlisting.
There's more to Amazon Prime than free shipping. My wife gets lots of streaming TV shows and movies, plus free books with Prime, on her Kindle fire. And I have the Amazon Instant Video app on an iPad that gives me the same goodies. Plus with the free 2-day shipping, it's a good deal for us. But you're right, if you only use it for free shipping, and don't order much, it's not such a good deal. Though with high shipping costs for 2-day shipping, you don't really have to be a heavy shopper to recoup your $79. |

Any of the code readers, free or paid, should work fine for this. CWget, CW decoder, MRP40, Fldigi, etc. I wish more people would check their sending. They may be surprised at what they're actually sending.  |

I am glad you posted here Bob,
Your life with your rooster seems to be one where you both match each others personality.
And it is important to have a partner where you each have similar interests.
For your rooster it is in scratching the earth looking for insects amongst his own droppings.
And for you it is scratching around eham looking for attention, and places to lay your own droppings.
I feel genuinely sorry for you Bob, you never seem to have a happy thought, and that is a life lived poorly.
I guess you were once a happy young lad, who thought he would see the world, but never managed to get beyond his back fence.
So you lash out at others who did do worthwhile things, and some who died while doing their duty.
I knew a young radio officer who died at sea, while sending the position of a ship which was sinking.
He did not make it off the vessel, and his actions saved many of the crew.
He was 21 years old, and had not even started his life, but gave it for his duty and shipmates.
How much have you ever given for others?
Or is all you can show for your life leaving poison posts on forums.
73 - Rob
Great post! I think that was a very accurate and well worded response. And the post of PA0BLAH that you replied to was one of the most mean-spirited posts I've ever had the displeasure to read anywhere. GW3OQK -- Thanks for posting, I love this sort of stuff for some reason.  |

eHam Forums / CW / RE: Suggestions for unlearning CW, learned via Code Quick

30 years ago I ordered Code Quick, taught myself the code and passed the 13 wpm test. So I can't say too much bad about it. Without it I would have never become a ham.
I never had to unlearn anything. As mentioned, you have to start somewhere and with more practice under your belt, you will naturally become faster and the "sound a likes" will disappear and not slow you down. Good luck to you.

It's not just the beginners, they mostly try to go slow and deliberate. But I hear way too many mid to high speed ops that don't have a clue what a space is. Whatever the case, it's very tiresome to try to make sense of run together code.
