AD4C> To make a QSO at 96 wpm is not to make CW,simply you are an operator
who types on a keyboard and then read the text over the screen

Many ops are enjoying copying by ear at 65+, some even at more than 100.

Many of those same ops also enjoy slowing it way down and sending manually.

Sending manually at 40+ is impractical.  Much of the enjoyment in QRQ comes
from listening to your own QRQ code as it goes out, and copying by head as
it comes in -- not from the typing.  The typing is a means to a goal.

I'm very grateful to the Elecrew for dedicating resources and energy into
the QRQ improvements for the K3.  Their methods are innovative; the results
are useful (admittedly to a niche group); and the results are as high
performance as the rest of the rig.  Their attention to this feature is
superb and the results are outstanding.

To each his own!

--Andrew, NV1B
