Richard, the K2 QSK is not fast. There is a documented mod to speed it up: reduce the value of R17 (3M3) in the audio muting circuit, typically by placing a 1M0 in parallel with it. This gives fast QSK but is not as smooth - it can be a bit clicky in the headphones on the fastest menu setting. I'd be interested to hear if anyone has been able to improve on this, i.e. fast and smooth QSK on the K2?

Hello all- I think the K2 looks like great rig. But, how quick is QSK? Can
you hear the receiver between dits on the cw transmit when using QSK? I like
the fast response of my TS-850 and would hope the K2 would  be able to
perform at least as well as the TS-850 (now sold as seed money for the K2) Your opinions are appreciated.
