50ms!!! How in hell can the rig function???
It can't be that long--the rig sounds good on the air. 50ms is more than a
dot length at 40WPM (at least I think so--33ms is a dot at 40WPM, right?).
I think he spoke with some ultra-conservative cust. service guy. That guy
gave him a number he could "positively guarantee" without having to make
any measurements--if the customer is satisfied with the answer, then Yaesu
saved time/$$$. Unless of course his fast answer cost Yaesu a sale, but
that's another story.
I don't believe it. Tree, you have 1000MP users. Certainly some of them use
PTT! Have any reported poor keying?
BTW: I do not own an 'MP, but have been considering one... and I run a
group that answers technical calls from customers -- so I understand the
incentive (and dangers) of brevity.

Subject: [TRLog] FT1000 MP owners beware
This came off the NA reflector. NA is looking into adopting the
PTT delay that TR already has. I knew this was an idea that would
catch on someday (took about 10 years). I wonder what the story
is with QSK then.
