Some questions for the assembled experts:
1. Exactly what does the "K3 QRQ" setting do?
2. I can copy the guys sending fast in my head, I don't know why, I
come from a record copy background [i.e. "mill"]. It just sounds like
words and phrases to me. I can't send anywhere near that fast. Someone
[Tommy?] mentioned keyboard programs. Names?
3. I use a WinKeyUSB with N1MM to key my K3 in contests. What do you
QRQ guys use? Will mine work?
Once [trust me, only once!], as a 16yr old at a coastal marine station,
I told a ship RO "QRQ", he was running about 10 wpm on a straight key,
and not doing it well. I figured, he'd probably move to the bug and
would do a lot better, and he had a long list. He replied at about 45
WPM. My record copy speed then was about 28, maybe 30 if I felt really
good, which was rare, the Old Guys tended to beat up on the kid. I
doubt I've ever, commercial or ham, sent "QRQ" ever again :-)
