K3 Dot length

[k6xt]

Working on a recalcitrant amplifier I noticed dot length differs between
PTT and QSK. I measured 32ms QSK, 38ms PTT at 40WPM using the internal
keyer. Without the amp.

Is this a feature, or a problem? S/N 2217

I don't know if it is a 'problem', unless you sometimes use PTT and sometimes either full
or semi- QSK, since you can adjust your keyer to compensate and leave it that way.

But I certainly don't think it's a feature!
