erratic CW transmitting

[KA3DCO]

I have had success with IC-7100 and RRC 1258 for a bit over 8 years in all modes, including FLDIGI, WSJTX operation. I have used CW successfully but for past year it transmits erratically when I key. At times it works perfectly. I am using a straight key and connected to the CW jack on the rear of the IC-7100 control head. My internet speed is a bit slow. I am wondering if this is my problem, my speed being no more than 14 mbps down and 3.0 up. I am connected on both ends via ethernet cable and do have a static IP. The red LED on RRC control unit comes on frequently.

I have been very much pleased with the RRC setup, it has made all the difference in the world and brought me tons of pleasure being able to operated from my condo.

When using CW you should connect the Key or Paddles to the Remotrig box, not to the IC-7100 Control panel, check the Remoterig manual. But if the red LED on the mic jack comes on it indicates that you have a bad internet connection with interuptions. You have to find the reason for that first. 14/3 MBit is much more than needed so it's not the problem. You can try to move the control side equipment to another place to find out if the problem is in the control end internet connection or in the radio end internet connection.
