Fw: [Elecraft] Interfacing K3 to TenTec QSK

[Richard Ferch]

I used exactly that setup with my K3 and a Titan (425) during a guest
operation as VE2OJ in the CW Sweepstakes (Winkeyer to key in on the Titan,
key out from the Titan to the K3). After the contest I had one report from a
local amateur of "choppy" CW, which I interpreted as possibly an indication
of some shortening of the CW elements. It didn't seem to be bad enough to
hinder copy, as I did not have an unexpected rate of repeat requests, and
there were no comments on the keying during the contest.

If I were using that amplifier again in QSK mode I would try to set aside
some extra time before the contest to look at the CW on a scope to see
whether any keying compensation was called for.

73,
Rich VE3KI
