Hi Mike, I agree with your assessment of QSK, it's great for the contester or DXer managing a run, but for a little pistol search and pouncer like me semi QSK is the cats pajamas. Full QSK is a definitely a distraction when my mouth is "full of well chewed rag."
You now the difference between catching a break on a symbol space or a letter space is almost totally trivial in the grand scheme of things. (I can hear the collective gasp now, but it's the ugly truth.) Non-the-less as an exercise in design one upmanship full QSK is a must in a top flight rig. Certainly quick turn around is a worthy specification for which much good does flow. vy best regards Rob AB7CF On Wed, 14 May 2008 22:02:14 -0400 Mike Naruta <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> writes: > My signal/one CX7A had very good QSK. > I found the noise while transmitting > to be irritating, much like voice VOX > with a short delay time so that it > goes to receive in between syllables. > It's nice to have a little quiet while > you are sending to think about what you > are communicating. > > I suppose that for a contester or DX > hound QSK is useful because you are just > pushing the keyer memory button and > listening for the signals of the others. > > > > But, then again, I used to go from > receive to transmit by putting the > receiver in Standby, changing the antenna > to the transmitter with the knife switch, > then turn on the HV in the transmitter. > > :) > > > Mike - AA8K > > > > Jerry Flanders wrote: > > > > I hope someone with a better "lab" than mine can put some of these > > > rigs to the test as you request and actually record and publish > the > > resulting audio.
