The performance killer is the transmission lag, that is the time between the last keypress, and when the radio is fully back in the receiving mode. If you run any speed and work DX this is a problem.
This is a timely post for me, Lee. I experienced this exact situation last night working 20 M cw. I had the turn around times down to a minimum with my SDR but with the delays I felt the timing with the DX station was off. The contact needed a couple of unnecessary repeats to complete it.
I have also tried using MOX for cw in these situations by programming one of the buttons on my Shuttle for the MOX function.
But there is still too much of a lag switching back to rx.
Frankly if it would speed up the T_R of the radion you could do away entirely with any sidetone generation, internal keyer in the software etc, and just let me use an external keyer to do these functions, or at least make this an option to be turned on and off.
I second this request. 73 Rick ve3mm
