Hi Alan, It's not as grim as all that. For local area connections, particularly for someone remoting his own equipment, the likelihood is that both remote and base are using the same ISP. In those cases latency can be as little as the TX/RX state change times in the K3 (except for QRQ mode). Having worked with the delayed mode monitoring in the FT1000MP's bucket brigade CW delay device, I found I could tolerate 20 ms lag from keypaddle to audio. Didn't like it, because it FELT like there was something wrong with the paddle. Not impossible, and you guys are the ones to solve it. 73, Guy ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
