Re: QSK Limits


 

Hello Bob,

At 27 wpm the dot length is 44 milliseconds. Listening between dots is a problem with an SDR. Relay changeover including bounce is about 10 msec, and the Rx path has to recover from the overload from Tx. And then there is the delay from antenna to speaker and that can be lengthy with an SDR. The digital filters have a fixed delay. And since the HL2 is connected over a network, there are buffers to smooth out the network delays. I am running Quisk with a hardware poll of 10 msec and a play latency of 250 msec. I could reduce these settings, but not down to the point that I can listen between dots. Semi break in works fine.

A faster computer doesn't help. If Quisk runs at all, your computer is fast enough.? An SDR generally has more delay than an analog radio and this is caused by how it works.
