[Elecraft] K3 + Icon

RIT is NOT disabled when QRQ mode is on. Rather, RIT (or XIT, or SPLIT) turns ORQ mode off 
while it is on. QRQ mode eliminates the distortion of CW elements that otherwise happens 
above about 35 wpm otherwise, and it also makes QSK operation smoother and faster.

As far as I know, it has only two downsides: it disables the passband shift function, and 
it shortens the delay from amp key output to RF from 8 to 4 or 5 ms (according to the 
manual).
