I do not want to bring up the pro's and con's of Farnsworth CW (discussed in many many posts in the elecraft forum, but not specifically in the K3 area).
I would just mention that this is a pretty standard technique on EME, to deal with libration fading. I was quite frustated to have to send by hand, or use an external keyer with the K3, this weekend. Has somebody raised this to a wish list item? A related thing that would be nice (and may actually be required) for this to work, is to be able to load the CW messages from your PC into the K3 memories, using the K3 Utility program. I would note that Winkeyer2 (K1EL) provides this feature using a parameter called FARNS in the setup menu. It forces the letters to go at different (faster) rate, while the letter spacing is set by the basic speed setting.
