NEW QSK -- Internal/External Keyer

[Gary, W7TEA]

Under Config: CW Wght: tap 3 is the choice between NEW and OLD QSK. NEW is
supposed to reduce keying artifacts when experiencing heavy QRN or QRM
by delaying full rx recovery a bit. I notice a slight difference between NEW and
OLD QSK, slight but helpful.

I've been trying my IdiomPress K-3 keyer instead of the internal keyer to gain
the use of the M1-M4 buttons for programmable functions and still retain
CW message play by using the IdiomPress keyer. But I'm having difficulty
determining whether NEW QSK works with external keying. (SSB+CW
works, CW WGHT would not of course.)    Anyone know about NEW/OLD QSK?
My ears seem to tell me that it does not, but I'm just not sure.

I played around with NEW/OLD QSK a bit and find that when when keying
with a strong signal on freq that that NEW QSK makes a significant
difference and I much prefer it, at least for speeds up to 25 wpm or
so.
