Perry,

I took a quick look this morning. I keyed the Corsair at 30wpm, fast QSK, and 100W output into a dummy load. I tried 50kHz and 200kHz frequency splits. I listened to the signal on a monitor receiver and viewed the RF output envelope on a scope.

I heard no sign of chirps or clicks. The output waveform looked perfect - no overshoot, and smooth 4-5mSec rise and fall times.

73,

Do you use split operation on CW?  Curious to know if the DDS osc can handle
the instantaneous shift of frequencies at a fast keying rate.  Obviously there
is a delay compared to the External VFO that runs constantly, but is the
shift noticeable either in a chirp, click or an "enabling delay" that shortens
the dots?

73,&  TIA
