[Elecraft] OT: definition of semi-breakin

[Edward R Cole]

I suppose this forum is a good place to ask as so many are CW ops.

I am evaluating a pcboard relay for switching RF (Tx/Rx) and need to 
know what speed that the relay needs to qualify for 
semi-breakin.  Also, a precise definition of semi-breakin would be nice.

I get that QSK results in transfer from Tx to Rx after every CW 
character.  I'm guessing semi-breakin switches when there is a pause 
in transmitting.  I can evaluate the switching speed of my candidate 
relays using a storage scope but need a precise number on how fast 
they need to be.

PS: these relays will be switching 300w RF.
