Title: CW vs. SSB TS-480SAT w/ RRC units...settings?
Post by: K7FD on 2011-07-30, 08:06:15

I have everything working well on SSB but cannot seem to get CW working smoothly. With a 3G connection, voice/ssb seems to transmit smoothly with very few breaks. CW however is another story. I cannot send a simple CQ without total garbling of characters sent. This sound as though they are stepping on each other...this at about 15 wpm. Why is ssb 'ok' and yet cw is barely copiable?

Are they settings with jitter, etc. that would be 'best' for cw? If so, what would they be? I can't seem to come up with the magic combination, hi.

Appreciate any input...maybe the 3G connection just can't handle my fist? :)

Am also using 3G and almost always CW.  Settings I use are audio quality 0 - alaw 8 Khz, Rx jitter buffer 15, jitter delay 14, audio packet size 10 and on keyer settings lf delay 650 and key delay 200.  With these settings I can cope up to 200ms latency - if it goes higher than that I start getting dropouts.  These may not be optimum settings, but they are the ones that work best for me.
