I can confirm Tom's comments regarding K3 CW keying. We had a QSO in 
mid-August on 20m, exchanging 599 each way. The keying at around 30wpm 
was excellent, punchy but without clix. Tom was able to vary the wave 
form quickly. I recall that a setting slighly off the softest range was 
best.  Chris G3SJJ
