[Elecraft] K4 Headphones Q

[Grant Youngman]

While I realize that precision in statements is important … this is cutting a mighty fine point.  OF COURSE it’s the digital processing that causes the delays.  It’s perfectly reasonable to assume in this group that we know what we mean when we say that a “wireless” headset introduces delay, and we’re not talking about interplanetary communications.  Context matters, and the context of this conversation is Bluetooth headsets ...
