Thanks, Bob.
Yes, closing PTT allows sending at high speed. I rarely send at over 35
wpm, but I guess I can just turn on the PTT when I do. (I have an
actual switch for that purpose. Remember those?) Firmware is up to date.
It doesn't sound like the KSYN3A will solve this problem, though,
whatever its other merits. I've never found the phase noise of the
original to be an issue, so it's hard to justify the expense.

The 37 WPM jitter issue is actually related to VOX timing (with either
QSK or semi-breakin). If you hold the PTT line closed while
transmitting, via a foot switch, software-controlled PTT, or an
external keyer like a WinKey with a PTT output, you can send as fast
as you like, no CW jitter, but you give up QSK and semi-breakin. This
works whether you have VOX ON or OFF.
For more details, see this post from about 4 years ago:

The new KSYN3A synthesizer is highly recommended though, especially
for QRQ CW.
Also, what firmware version are you running?

I just learned of the "37 wpm" problem with the original K3
(non-S), which I have. I just verified that, indeed, above 37 wpm
the cw gets all messed up. This seems to occur whether in QSK
(Break-in) or PTT mode. The problem seems to go away, at least up
to 50 wpm, in the QRQ mode.
A possibly related issue is the slow QSK recovery. In the normal
QSK mode, one can just hear between the dits at 16 wpm. In QRQ
mode, that goes all the way up to 18 wpm.
Does the new synthesizer ala K3S solve either of these problems?
If not, is there another solution?
