DDS frequency switching speed is limited by the control logic, probably
would take a whole cycle at RF just because of the number of bits in the
serial control word. There's no chirp, the danger is a click from the
abrupt change of slope on the developed waveform.

the Omni VI.
Steve:
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?
