[Elecraft] How is K3 QRQ QSK performance 50-100 WPM?

[juergen]

Hi Guy

That would be a  very useful option. 

The 2 tone oscillator is not that useful although a welcome feature. 

The ability to  set 2 different duty cycle rates would also be great. If you had  the choice of disabling normal carrier tune and using the pulse tuner in place that would be  great.  Alternatively if you held the tune button for a short couple of seconds it will choose pulser mode,  if held longer it gives normal tune at whatever carrier power its set for.

Another option would be to use the straight key jack when in the SSB mode to engage the tuning pulser. Who knows whats possible, only Elececraft!
