Thanks, Ed. BTW, what you describe as QSK is usually referred to as "semi break in", or "Semi QSK" by CW ops. There is a world of difference.
For the guys and gals out there who may not understand the distinction, CW ops refer to QSK as the ability to actually hear activity on the band between dits at a reasonable speed. Modern radios that actually do true QSK can do it at 30-50 WPM. I look forward to purchasing another 5000a (first was sent back for poor CW performance) if and when new software actually allows it to perform to this standard. I am pretty sure the 5000a hardware will allow this, but the following quote from Frank Brickel's April 26 post in the then-current "CW QSK ability" thread eliminated my hope that the current PowerSDR could _ever_ provide QSK: "I think this line of discussion has run its course of usefulness. Development effort is being focused on doing it right, not patching the current system, which is basically unfixable in a systematic and maintainable way. " If I understand Frank correctly, we will not see what CW ops call QSK in PowerSDR/Windows. Ever. Jerry W4UK At 07:34 AM 5/14/2008, Ed Russell wrote: >Hi Jerry, > >It's a 5k.
