KSYN3A and QSK

[Barry Simpson]

I am thinking of further upgrading my venerable K3 S/N 13** by installing
the new synthesizer boards. I have already fitted the KXV3B which is
fantastic as regards the receive preamp on 12, 10 and 6.

My question is does the installation of the KSYN3A retain the two grades of
QSK (normal and fast) or is it now always fast ? Also doess it still work
fast with RIT on etc ?

Currently operating from on holiday in Vanuatu as YJ0BJ using said K3

Barry,

QRQ mode is off when RIT is used unfortunatelly.

Non QRQ mode is significantly improved with the new synthesizer and many
think contest operating to 35 or 40 WPM don't gain anything by switching to
QRQ mode.

Yes, it is as Guy said and I agree.
Normal QSK is improved as reported and tested by several ops and I do not worry which QSK is set at 40wpm or so on my K3 with new KSYN3A.
I just mentioned to Barry that new QRQ mode is off when RIT is used...;)

Yes, RIT is off as are some other features for QRQ mode.

With the new syn QRQ mode becomes finally what it was intended for, a
speciality mode for doing 80 WPM full break-in. And the ridiculous less
than one millisecond TX RX TX state change budget, required to hear between
bauds at that speed, mandates a no-frills necessities only lean and mean
state change task list in the programming executed between bauds.

I would think that it's time to drop the confusing old/new QSK distinction
if new Syns are detected. Or keep and call them smooth/sharp or some such,
sharp being I want to hear as much as possible between bauds, smooth being
hear as much as can without clicky or popping sounds.
