[Elecraft] QRQ CW

[Don Wilhelm]

Fred,

I think the answer to your question of when to turn it on has a personal 
perception element to it.
We have heard from some who leave it turned on all the time, and some 
others have volunteered that it improves the keying above 35 wpm while 
others have said above 30.

As I recall, QRQ mode is now automatically turned off if you use 
SPLIT/RIT/XIT - if that does not happen for you, update the firmware.
