The original post suggested that if you turn on QRQ it will turn off RIT. That's not the
case. They ARE incompatible, so that RIT (temporarily) forces QRQ off. But you can leave
the QRQ parameter in the config menu on, and then you will have it whenever you are not
using RIT, XIT or SPLIT.
With QRQ off, CW timing is messed up over about 35 wpm with an external keyer. Maybe it
goes a little higher with the internal keyer; I'm not sure. But not much.

It sounds like it's effectively the same thing, unless I'm just not understanding
something. If QRQ is on, and you engage RIT, QRQ is then automatically turned off. So
while QRQ is on, you have no RIT.
Distortion beyond 35 WPM:
I was under the impression that this was addressed - to a limit - during the development
of CW+ (QRQ) mode, and that QRQ mode (further) extended that limit to nearly WPM with
accurate elements.
That is, even without QRQ mode enabled, accurate timing of elements was achieved to some
WPM beyond 35.
Wayne, can you clarify? Is QRQ mode required for accurate timing at any speed
above 35?

RIT is NOT disabled when QRQ mode is on. Rather, RIT (or XIT, or SPLIT)
turns ORQ

that
otherwise happens above about 35 wpm otherwise, and it also makes QSK
operation
smoother and faster.
As far as I know, it has only two downsides: it disables the passband shift
function, and it shortens the delay from amp key output to RF from 8 to 4
or 5 ms
(according to the manual).
