Yes, except the QSK Delay adjustment seems to work like "VOX Hang". At 100% setting, it holds Tx mode for maybe 0.5 second. That's what I'd call semi-breakin. It would be interesting to check QRQ in that mode. I don't expect much difference, since -- on my rig, at least -- QSK stops working at about 20 wpm for dit-to-dit T/R switching. (Internal keyer) T/R switching between words seems useful to above 40 wpm. That's good enough for me, but it's not "pure" QSK.

Does Orion have a semi-breakin mode or some other less than full QSK
mode? If so, how does QRQ performance in that mode compare to
performance in full QSK mode?




Unfortunately, Orion's TX seems to operate "full QSK" all the time.
There is a CW PTT input now, but TT choose not to use it to prepare TX
for transmission. PTT is only used for external amp control.
