That's interesting to hear because I don't get such fast QSK with my O II. For CW I have it set as 0% delay, internal keyer off (I use an external unit just because) and CW rise/fall at 3 mS (as fast as it can be set) and SSB: CW Jack PTT on. Will any of these result in slowing down the QSK capability?

FWIW, I get about 60wpm on my Orion and still enough unmuting between
characters to just tell that someone is on frequency.  That's external
keyer, pc generated.  I can't key fast enough to measure with internal
keyer.

The answer also depends on cw rise/fall setting.  It will be a few wpm
faster with the lowest rise/fall setting and a few wpm slower with the
highest rise/fall settings.
