[Elecraft] K2 QSK

[N2TK, Tony]

Yes, T-R Hold is set to 0.01. Still hard to hear between dits above
16-20WPM. Would be happy if I could hear between dits up to about 30WPM.

Bob, Tony qnd all,

Have you tried setting the menu item 'T-R Hold' to 0.00 or 0.01?  The
firmware defaults this setting to 0.05.
If my dot time calculation is anywhere close, a setting of 0.00 should allow
you to hear between dits up to about 60 wpm.  With a setting of 0.05, you
will only hear between characters above 20 wpm.

Set the PF1 or PF2 buttons for T-R hold should you want to change it more
quickly than accessing the menu.

73,
Don W3FPR
