[Elecraft] QSK and the K3

[Guy Olinger K2AV]

If one is going to upgrade one's K3 to the new synthesizer, then table any
QSK concerns until you have that in place. Just one of the benefits is that
the new synthesizer does state changes way faster than the old syn. RX/TX
state changes are what QSK is all about.

Besides the new syn, there have been a lot of changes to QSK, some number
of varieties of QSK now, since the olden days of firmware version 3.xx.
Way lotsa stuff under the bridge since then. Includes some very significant
improvements to AGC and K3 performance listening to a pile-up. Wayne has
been very busy over the last seven years.

73, Guy K2AV
