Keyboard CW....no way to insert pause?

[KB8CR]

I am LOVING the new RRC-Micro on my IC-7100. I have found an issue I can't resolve. I tried a CW QSO a few moments ago, and although I put a space between words on the keyboard (with the spacebar), all of the characters are run together as if there is no pause between words. I tried to find something on the website that explains the keyboard CW, but didn't find any.

Is there a way to insert a pause between words, other than waiting until the previous word is sent before typing the next word? (That way leaves TOO big a pause). A space between words on the keyboard isn't working here.

Even with this issue, I had a good qso with the other party. hi hi.

Thanks,

I can confirm that. I did not test the latest firmware till your post, Charlie.
Previous release was working for sure! As usual in computer programs, 'old bugs solved, new bug introduced',

Oh well......I don't think the older version will work with my IC-7100, so I'll just have to wait until they fix this bug in the next release.

Thanks

Hi guys.

I can confirm that space is not sent.
A new update with a fix will be available next week.

Sorry for the inconvenience

That is good news !  Is it possible to be able to adjust CW speed without disconnecting from the remote end?

Cant say without checking the code. But I will have that in mind when I make the fix

The next update will have all CW settings live like this
Values will be saved at end of session.

It is good to have all CW mode config at hand.
Good work!

This is what it ended up in. Released version 1.6.9 today

[KB8CR]

Looks great ! I'll try it out tonight.

Roland:

Unfortunately, the new version 1.6.9.0 is not sending CW ok. Whatever I type in, or if I use a macro, it only sends a few PARTS of characters. Don't know what could be wrong.

Roland does not know CW. I think need to let me test before he release new versions

Mike:

Have you tried it? Just want to make sure it's not just on my end. The older version(s) still work here (with their own problems however). But while the new version looks great, it's just not sending the cw correctly at all.

As Mike say I'm no Radio user myself so I can have missed something there.
We will check this on Monday and get it right. Sorry guys for the inconvenience.

Meanwhile I guess you have to back down to 1.6.7
