To try to make sense of this experiment, I immediately assumed
that Kurt wouldn't be using a hand key, but rather a device that
interfaced to the radio through the KEY jack. Obviously an
electronic switch could switch the key jack that fast, but I'm
not sure about a relay.
The other question that occurs to me is, "How wide will the
resulting signal be?"

Kurt -
300 wpm is so far beyond any speed I am aware of a human copying that I
never gave that issue any thought... and few folks I know can send good CW
above 40 ish wpm with a hand key, so I doubt if many folks have given that
any thought. I will be interested to see what answers you get... and am
curious as to why you want to know? Just curious or do you have a need to
do that kind of speed with a hand key?

Greetings list!
I searched the archives and other sources, but haven't found an answer, so
I'll try here.
I'm looking to find the maximum cw speed on my K3 (with new oscillators,
serial 8xxx)
when using a manual cw key plugged into the KEY jack on the back of the
radio.
I don't mean the internal keyer, or memories. I'm not using QSK, so that
won't be an issue. The K3 is put into TX mode via an external TX switch,
and keyed via the KEY jack.
I'm hoping for speeds in excess of 300 WPM. Possible?
