[Elecraft] [KX3] RTTY mode rocks!

[Wayne Burdick]

Each individual character will be sent at the correct baud rate no  
matter what the CW speed. But if you use the message buffers,  
characters are guaranteed to be sent out back to back, as if you were  
sending a brag tape from a computer application. (I.e., 60 WPM for  
RTTY.)

This means you can send info quickly via message buffers, but keep the  
keyer speed set to a comfortable level in case you need to send that  
way.
