         Amen!  Rather than using a Spot button, I send
a few dashes from my key to hear my sidetone when zero
beating someone.  Less effort to move my hand from the
paddle to the radio doing it this way.  After I'm zero-
beat, I use PTT via foot switch to transmit.

Well, the response to this was rather positive for having the ability to turn off QSK.  I, like Tree, should have included the point about having PTT input for CW.  Since I rarely use an amp or full breakin, I previously didn't have a need for a footswitch in CW.  But I now will consider it's use after reading this thread.  Thanks!

FWIW, a good friend of mine and super CW  OP/Contester/DXER (past-pres of
NCCC) was a strong advocate of the CW PTT, esp  if running the linear.

For super fast contesting I don't see how one
could beat the combination of a QSK amplifier
and a QSK rig.  I must be missing something.

That's true.  But if you don't have a QSK amp,
using PTT to switch the radio from RX to TX,
send the memory (CQ, Exchange or QRZ) and
immediately back to RX is the next best thing.

No VOX delay hang time.
