[Elecraft] K3 Keyer speed versus display read out of speed

[The Smiths]

I've found that mine is usually reading fast by 1 wpm than I'm sending.  I've also found this to be the case with 2 other units that I've tried.  This has been tested with CW reading programs on the computer.

> Does anyone know the accuracy of the K3 keyer speed and the display readout of the speed. I am thinking that the speed of the keyer is faster then the display readout says that it is. I am guessing close to 20 percent faster but I have not done any real measurements, just comparisons of other recorded CW where the speed was specified. Of course, it is possible that the recorded CW that I used was also wrong but I am thinking the K3 is faster then the display readout says that it is. For example, when the display readout shows 17 wpm, I am thinking this is about 20 wpm.
