[Elecraft] Mushy CW in QSK at 38 wpm and above...

[Vic Rosenthal 4X6GP/K2VCO]

Is it a K3 (not K3S) which did NOT have its synthesizer upgraded?
If so, then you MUST have QRQ mode turned on or you will see poor CW 
above about 35 wpm. In addition, note that QRQ mode is automatically 
disabled when you turn RIT/XIT on or use SPLIT.
