[Elecraft] Clarification on QRQ mode changes in recent K3 beta firmware (4.36)

[Brendan Minish]

Tom,

Have you any advice you might be able to share about how to best 
progress towards true QRQ CW?

I am currently a reasonable CW contest op and can ragchew ok ~ 25WPM 
most of the time when I am not trying too hard
When I try 'too hard' I start to loose the ability to headcopy easily 
and once the head-copy is gone altogether you might as well bring our 
cat into the shack to finish the QSO ;-)

I have spent many hours listening to text (books ) converted to CW at 35 
to 50WPM and it has helped a bit, but it has not helped nearly as much 
as I had hoped it would.
Just occasionally I can get into the 'zone' and follow a book just fine 
at 40WPM but, then I 'notice' myself doing it and it all goes to pot 
again, after that it's back to getting words here and there perfectly, 
then missing the next one.
