Ouch! I use Auto-Detect all the time when contesting with the K2 and it
works flawlessly for me! Please don't tamper with it!
Frankly, QSK On/Off doesn't do anything for me. If space could be found for
the code, I'd prefer to see the ability to assign a different MODE to each
VFO and have t
ADeT works great for most of us who use it. A few folks have had issues with
it, maybe diode tolerances or keying style. Anyhow, you can turn it off.
Only users with problems typically post on the reflector. I, and all the
others successfully using ADeT often remain silent.
To sacrifice ADeT for
I have a suggestion about how to add Qsk On and OFF as a menu
item. So that you can choose if you want it to default to QSK off at power
up.
The necessary space in memory could be made available by dropping the
Auto-Detect feature. That feature is buggy anyway.

Don, W3fjp finally figured out what I was talking about as far as
having a QSK On and OFF feature for the K2. All other rigs I've owned
over the past 40 years included a method to place the rig into CW standby.
Call it whatever you want, CW Standby, QSK OFF, CW Monitor etc...

Good points. Hmmm... It brings to mind an image of a "gentlemanly barroom

Taking Contesting techniques to other types of operation is an old thread on
this reflector of course, and may well be on others.
In my experience it causes more confusion than efficiency. I alway

I'm wondering where you guys use such incredibly fast QSK? I keep the delay

perhaps at speeds under 15 wpm, letters. I find it incredibly tiring to

The speedup mod will bring it up to maybe 25 wpm. But -- especially if
you have the DSP -- it's noisy. Maybe I'm hypersensitive on th
