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)

Does this become apparent only above a certain speed? I'm guessing it's not as big an issue below 30wpm or so, but would be good to know. On Sun, Dec 6, 2020 at 10:23 PM wrote: > I have never heard of this issue until your post. In DX contests, dits > sometimes disappear so we certainly to done
