I will have to redo my tests. As I think about it, it may have been
between letters that I was hearing rather than between elements.
The thumping on the Yaesu with the delay setting of 0 certainly put
me off the Yaesu as it got really tiring really fast.
I will try to optimize the timing for the Yaes and use Spectrogram to
hear instead of my ears and see what I come up with.
Thanks for all the input. I have gone back and checked out the past
discussion on improving K2 QSK by modifying R17.
Regards,
Raj
