[Elecraft] K3: Receiver recovery time

[Don Wilhelm]

Dave,

I am trying to think of how you might test it.
The best I can think of is to listen to both a noise source and an XG3 
sending a CW string of dots.  Increase the speed of the CW sent by the 
XG3 until you can no longer hear the noise source between dits.
Then either calculate the off times for the dits or measure it on an 
oscilloscope.
