KX2 CW Speed

According to the RBN reports, my KX2 seems to send about 2 wpm faster
than the set speed, like 34 vs 32. Has anyone else noticed this?

I've never noticed it. I can't go that fast.

How does the RBN measure speed?? One character at a time? Over a period of time? Regardless of the speed set in the keyer dial, character spacing and/or word spacing might matter.

Hi Scott,

Measuring the KX2 DOT period with KYR-SP set to 32 WPM is 34.6 ms. Which
equates to 34.7 WPM.

I'm not sure how the RBN measures speed, but it always seems to agree with my computer (N1MM), with and without the Winkeyer. Anyhow, another KX2 owner has measured the dot period, and confirmed that it runs about 2-3 wpm fast.
