Hi All

First Post to List.

I run an homebrew logger for normal and contest logging. It runs CW, RTTY
(FSK using MMTTY engine) and PSK 31/63 (using WA0TTN's version of
PSKCore.dll), It all works fine with my K3.
I have been experimenting with PSK D, I have the computer keying the K3
Paddle input at 46 wpm, the text sent reads ok on the display, not tried
it on the air yet.
Is there an optimum keying speed for CW to Data? I have searched the
archives but can't find any mention. Is the CW stored in a buffer if it is
input faster than the decoded PSK is sent?
Thanks in advance for any info.
