OK I just tested my Orion with many different settings and here's what I
found....
First I did a master reset...
Using the internal keyer I have found that the receiver recover time
decreases when the CW Rise/Fall time is set lower (naturally) and also when
the weighting is set lower... When the weighting is set at 50% and the
rise/fall time is set to 3 mS, I can hear the receiver between dits up to
about 25 wpm... With the weighting set at 100%, I can hear the receiver
between dits up to about 20 wpm... With the weighting set at 150%, I can
hear between dits at only about 18 wpm... As I stated before, with any
settings I can hear the receiver between characters ... I am happy with this
though... For QSK operation, it works fine for me....

> QSK gone away? Not on my Orion. I can hear another station between dits at
what the MFJ 493 keyer says is 60 - and with what the internal keyer says is
60. So I certainly have QSK - at speeds higher than I ever want to run.
When it comes to CW I prefer city speed limits to interstate speed limits!
I will leave the autobahn speeds to the young guys.

other station, QSK delay is 0, weighting at 100%, and rise time is 3 ms. CW
jack PTT is on and PTT in CW is as key. QSK delay or a slow rise time could
keep the receiver from turning on between dits, or there could be some
garbage left over in a memory position that does not need to be there.

back down the road I had to do a "hold the lock down" complete memory
cleanout but not this time. And not at all unless some glitch that has not
revealed itself so far appears.
