FW: [Elecraft] Do I need to upgrade my QRP-K2/ Clean Signals...

[Dan Barker]

Earl, I believe Trev's question was "with the energy that used to be wasted
in clicks now in the correct bandwidth, is there more punch to the clean
signal?"

You answered "the energy outside the bandwidth doesn't help much".

I imagine the "punch" difference between properly shaped and poorly shaped
CW is very slight, but possibly not negligable. However, unless it's ten
percent or more (very unlikely), the receiving station will never be able to
tell.
