Some folks have reported an improvement in QSK performance on the O1 v2.060.
It's quite possible this is true in the main receiver.  However, I am
definitely observing a significant deterioration of the QSK performance of
the subreceiver, compared to v2.059.  There is an approximate 300msec
additional delay in subreceiver recovery introduced by v2.060 firmware.
This additional delay in T/R turnaround is present whether the subreceiver
is connected to ANT1 or RXANT.

The upshot of this is that if you were cq'ing in a contest and listening for
callers on the subreceiver, you would likely miss the first cw element or
two of responders, especially when the signals were weaker.
