There is never a reason to turn QRQ off. It improves the sound of the sidetone when QSK is on at any speed, although it doesn't make much difference in the transmitted signals below about 33 wpm. It is automatically off when the K3 can't support it, which is when you are in SPLIT or have RIT or XIT on.
The ability to turn it off is a vestige of the initial pre-beta implementation, when it needed to be turned off in order to use SPLIT/XIT/RIT. But Wayne made it automatic, so this is not required. It's possible that he will remove the switch. On 5/19/2012 10:17 AM, Fred Jensen wrote: > On 5/19/2012 9:17 AM, Dale Boresz wrote: >> Hello Fred, >> >> That "+" symbol indicates that QRQ is ON.
