[Elecraft] [K3] Help with K3, TenTec TITAN amp, and QSK

[Steve Ellington]

I agree. The K3's keying is excellent and the timing of the keyer matches 
that of the sidetone. This is important. When I use the K1EL keyer or the 
Logickey K5, I find that my timing is slightly off because there seems to be 
a delay in keyer output vs. paddle closure. I feel like I'm dragging the 
sidetone behind. The K3's keyer response is instant.
