NO way Jorge,yes and no,in contests certainly the fastest ops send their numbers at higher speed but its not 50 as you think,otherwise lots of ops won't be able to copy anything in a crowded band full of QRM,the standard is between 35 and 40 wpm which is very confortable for all contesters. AD4C

So the K3 will not do that?. 73, Jorge CX6VM -----Mensaje original----- De: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] En nombre de Hector Padron Enviado el: Jueves, 30 de Julio de 2009 03:36 p.m. Para: Andrew Moore CC: [email protected] Asunto: Re: [Elecraft] About the K3 cw speed "With external keying the K2 can do about 70 but I'd love to see that built into the K2. Plenty high speed ops out there -- FOC, FISTS, CFO" True,there are dozen good high speed ops that can receive up to and over 70 wpm like friend of mine in Miami who can copy and type 75 wpm but how many of them will be able to TRANSMITT 70 wpm with his fist and a paddle ? Sure NONE.! So what's the point of having a TX speed over 50 unless you wanted to do a real messy transmission at 70. AD4C We all have our wish lists though; no disrespect to the K2/K3 and all the engineering and budgeting decisions that undoubtedly went into them. ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html __________ Información de NOD32, revisión 4290 (20090730) __________ Este mensaje ha sido analizado con NOD32 antivirus system http://www.nod32.com ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
