[Elecraft] K3 CW QSK improvement -- summary of early test results

[Rick Tavan N6XI]

5.01 sounds good, Wayne. It's hard to come to any conclusion until using it
under a variety of band noise and signal conditions, but it seems to be an
improvement. It sounds like the lost time between elements is slightly
longer but the artifacts are reduced. In CWT this morning, I was able to
tune VFO B to a signal visible on the P3 while transmitting on VFO A. It's
a little harder to do than before because of the shorter samples of
received audio, but it's OK. If the artifacts remain gone under more severe
conditions, it will be a winner. Thanks.

73,
