[CQ-Contest] Handicap For Dirty Rigs

[K4XS via CQ-Contest]

Very few signals sound dirty on either of my K3s.  However,  there are a 
couple that sound dirty and are from well known contesters.   Looking at the 
signals on the P-3 is pretty enlightening and generally confirms  what my 
ears hear.  No CW signals should be 1.5 kHz wide and when they are  it gives 
the offending station an unfair advantage.  One particular station  seems to 
be able to turn on the wide signal at will and then turn it off once  you 
move away from him.  Things that make you go, hmmmm.
 
>From what I've been told the keying on some of the newer rigs can  be 
adjusted (or mis-adjusted) and the result can make a $$$ rig sound like  the old 
MKVs without the click adjustment.

I wonder  if this ham gets a commission from Elecraft?   Maybe the K3's he  
has needs a better front end so they are not overloaded by nearby  hams.

Maybe W7DRA and I need to get on using Heath DX-100's.  If  the Yaesu and 
Icom rigs are so bad after a short while we should have run  the others off 
the band.

My question is does the FTDX5000 or Icom  7600 meet FCC specs if so what is 
he talking about???
