Yes, it is heard on the sidetone. You may or may not detect it at 30
wpm, but you definitely will at 35. The sidetone is a close
representation of the signal as sent.
At slower speeds, QRQ mode also makes full QSK sound 'cleaner', but I
don't think that there is any detectable effect on the transmitted
signal under 30 wpm.
I leave QRQ turned on. I don't normally use SHIFT, so I don't miss it.
When I turn on RIT/XIT, QRQ goes off and I avoid it when sending at
higher speeds. When I need to operate split. I do this by listening to
the DX on the subreceiver, tuning the pileup with the main. That way I
do not have to activate SPLIT, which also turns off QRQ.
This is a small defect, but it is real. It is not going to make me give
up my K3! When anyone asks for my recommendation for a high-performance
transceiver, I recommend the K3. That doesn't mean it is perfect.
I have discussed this issue with Wayne and understand that the solution
is not simple, and probably not fixable without a hardware mod. I for
one would be interested in buying new synth boards if they would solve
this problem as well as improve the QSK performance (it's too noisy).

Which brings another question --- just when should the QRQ be
enabled. I have sent at 30 wpm and that is about the limit of my
sending speed and all mistakes are my fault -- but I have never
noticed anything choppy or unusual and I have never invoked QRQ.
Reason for not invoking QRQ is that I didn't think I needed it and I
thought QRQ was meant for something faster than 30 wpm.
Question: is this something you hear on the side-tone monitor? Is
it the same as sent?
