You may well be correct, Zoli. As I recall, a speed change would require sending the proper CAT command each time the change is made. It's possible this could be done in a manner that doesn't mess up the timing of the sent Morse, I think it would likely be very rig specific. One thing the K3 and the later models can do is be keyed via the RTS/DTR line and N1MM+ takes full advantage of that, speed changes and all. Problem is whether more rigs support that and whether Hamlib supports it. Even though I've been a part of the Hamlib project for quite some time, I'm not sure! There may be some provision but probably needs some debugging. Again, this is a feature that is rig specific. 73, Nate -- "The optimist proclaims that we live in the best of all possible worlds.
