[hpsdr] HPSDR CW ops please comment

[K1rqg at aol.com]

I would like to echo John's comments below, but further add that in my  
case, I cannot
really detect any latency at all (none while using the PowerSDR MON) on CW  
and while 
listening on my FT-1000, I could not detect any noticeable latency. I use  
HPSDR as
my main rig on HF on SSB & CW and also on 70 cm & 23 cm EME as the  28 Mhz 
IF.
 
I use the internal keyer as well as the W5SXD package, and I also have used 
 an external
Logikey Model K-3 memory keyer, all with NO issues. 
 
I have not tried CW with KK yet, but have tried full duplex on SSB and  it 
looks as if given
the proper isolation, one can run true QSK as in the OLD days with an  
electronic T/R switch.
 
BTW I am not running a "super" computer, just Athlon 2 Ghz dual core  
processor and 2 Ghz
RAM. I think one of the contributing factors to a lot of folks issues is  
the USB port performance.
Again, I can't back this up with statistics, just with usage.

Ken and  the rest,

I am a 100% CW operator with three weeks of HPSDR operation  and 60 CW 
QSO's 
under my HPSDR belt.  I find no, repeat "no" problems  using the native 
Power 
SDR keyer and keying monitor.  From the  perspective of the radio operator, 
there is no apparent latency or delay  from my paddle activation to the 
monitor output.  Of course, there is  a definite latency between the 
monitor 
output and the actual RF output as  monitored on a separate receiver.  The 
native keyer also permits  optimization of the wave form of the keying 
signal.  I have made some  small adjustments to suite me and have received 
a 
number of spontaneous  compliments on the keying etc.

In my combined experiences with the Flex  1000 and 3000 and now my HPSDR 
rig, 
the exceptional CW performance using  the native Power SDR keying functions 
with HPSDR contrasts with the rather  frustrating experience with Power SDR 
on CW with the Flex rigs.   These two different systems should not be 
confused.

If anyone has  further questions about CW operation with HPSDR please ask 
them.   Maybe I can help.

Regards,
John Petrich, W7FU
