OK, here is my final word on this topic.
PowerSDR/SDR-5000 is an outstanding performer, in my opinion. So it
is my hope that this QSK topic will be given due consideration by the
PowerSDR programming team. CW may be dying, but we CW operators are
not. Guys, don't let this deficiency go un-notic
The best performance I can obtain for QSK is at the following settings:
