I’ve been using RemoteTX for my remote operation for a while now. With the 7300 it worked just fine using the USB port for audio and control. I switched over to use it with my K3S and it seems to work differently in one strange annoying way. The audio coming over the USB line is constantly

The approximately 6 ms of dit shortening represents 10% of the dit length at 20 WPM. It gets progressively worse as the speed increases (20% at 40 WPM, 30% at 60 WPM, etc.). Note: this only applies to K3 models that do not have the upgraded synthesizer. For an unmodified K3 the solution(s)
