To me a perfect QSK rig would be one that I could send at any speed and I could clearly hear between the dits without any artifacts such as clicks, and pops and no agc pumping.
--------------------------------------------- Thanks Tony. I can see the application in DX-ing at times. I appreciate your insights. If hearing between dits wasn't so intrusive to me, I'd use faster QSK, but I find that it's not needed for the sort of operating I do so I was curious about how it was being used by others. I've always appreciated QSK - being able to hear between my "signals" - and enjoy what I consider the K2's very smooth QSK. But then I can remember when good "QSK" meant that the receiver AGC recovered within 5 seconds and I no longer had to throw antenna and B+ switches to change between xmit and receive. It's a matter of what extreme you want, and the K2 is a good rig to push to extremes. Wayne and Eric surely support it and the rig has been made consistently better because of grumbling over issues like this.
