[Elecraft] K3: QRQ high-speed QSK

[David Cutter]

A pro friend of mine cruises at 60wpm using the built-in keyer of my club 
746 (Mk1) in iambic mode.  I don't know what it sounded like at the other 
end but the QSO lasted several minutes with many overs.  I don't recall if 
it was QSK.  He made no complaints about the rig and he's used to all kinds 
of rigs and big into dxpeditions.  I could ask him for his opinion on this.

I'm surprised to read of resistance to this enhancement, anything that helps 
sell more K3s is good for me.
