[hpsdr] HPSDR CW ops please comment

[Willi Reppel]

Hi Ken,
I use both, PowerSDR and Kiss V1.0.6 console for key-ing.Others have already 
commented your post in depth. However, it remains to be mentioned that KISS 
console  uses the Mercury receiver as CW-monitor and it lacks yet a native 
built-in keyer. Monitoring with Mercury is probably a useful improvement for 
SSB mode but in CW I have not found yet optimal settings for gain control 
because the agc of Mercury is affected by the strength of the transmitted 
signal, creating annoying audio pops in the monitor. Kiss lacks yet an 
independent audio gain control for the CW monitor which is a useful feature 
of PowerSDR´s console.
Said latency sets evidently an upper limit to CW speed. A skilled high speed 
CW operator tried once to key 35-40 wpm on my setup but he lost his pace and 
gave up because he could not  key with some milliseconds of latency. I told 
him about the possibility to use an external keyer with own  monitor like 
Win-keyer together with HPSDR.
